Title: DVD-Audio playback and ripping
Post by: Stangg on June 19, 2016, 04:33:37 am: Hi all,
I have a collection of DVD-Audio disks, but my DVD-player died.

Ik can buy a really expensive player that does DVD-Audio (and SACD), or I can extract the Meridian Lossless Packing files (96 kHz/24-bit 5.1-channel audio track as well as a 192 kHz/24-bit stereo audio track) using JRiver software?

Extracting to multichannel FLAC would be good. Most modern media players will play it.

Any chance?

With kind regards,

Erik

Not sure if it can be done in JRiver

DVD Audio Extractor works. I've only used it on a handful of discs, but it worked as expected. I ripped to multi-channel and stereo FLACs directly with DVD audio extractor. It has a free trial for 30 days as I recall.
