In Reply to: LP to DVD-A on a Mac? posted by zacster on December 27, 2006 at 05:57:09:
Hi, Zacster. I'm having a similar constellation as you (intel iMac). There is nothing easier than using your iMac for recording through the analog input (microphone icon) if you have some recording application (mine is Amadeus Pro). The max built in hirez format is 24/48. For higher resolution you'll need some external ADC (I'm using M-Audio Firewire). Then you'll need to clean the file from clicks and crackle (which I do by ClickRepair). Note that whenever you pass your recordings through iTunes they will be downsampled and decimated to CD format.My problem starts when I want to author and burn a DVD-Audio in a Hirez format. It seems iDVD does not do this. I tried a trial version of diskWelder BRONZE but it crashes when I proceed to burning. What's your experience with burning?

Thanks. I had a feeling the DVD-A authoring would be a problem. And it also sounds like it will cost money for the software to do it, and being a cheapskate I'm not looking to spend money. I may just give it a try with what I have, maybe garage band can do it someway? Someday when I have a whole day to kill. And then if it works I have to record in real-time, which isn't going to happen to too many LPs.As far as burning experience, I've only burned the .iso file of DSOTM to a disk using OSX disk utility. The .iso was already prepared into the proper DVD-A format by someone else.
Hi-
Out of curiosity, which of the programs which come with the mac (I just got a macbook last week) allow you to burn an .iso file? I thought you still needed an external burning program to actually instruct the dvd burner to work.
One other question, if I download 24/96 audio only which is in FLAC, how do I go about burning those to discs?
Thanks,
jon
You need to use "Disk Utility" in the applications folder, I think under system utilities. I'm in my office now on a PC otherwise I'd tell you exactly where. Pretty dead in the office.When you open the utility, drag the .iso file in, click on Burn, and follow the prompt to insert the DVD. I used DVD+R, but I think it supports them all. That's it. It took about 20 minutes to burn and verify 3.4gb.
I haven't a clue about creating the .iso file. Mine came from a very long download. You probably need some authoring tool to create it, maybe Toast will, I don't know. I'm still pretty new to the mac world, not that I know how on a PC either.
Thanks for that info., it is a big help! I'll have to get a couple of blank DVD's and play around with it a bit. I've been dying for a dvd burner for a while so it should be interesting.
I went thru all this several years ago, but never really had much luck generating DVD-A in 24-bit/192KHz format, until I went to a PC configuration. Ric Ford's MacInTouch web site contains quite a bit of info on this very subject.
FWIW,
