Samplitude burns so-called "Black Discs", i.e. DVD audio without graphic menus. You can
create video DVDs with menus, videos, and slideshows using the video editing and DVD
authoring program "MAGIX Movie Edit Pro".
On a DVD audio disc, you can record audio in 16 and 24-bit bit rates, sample rates of 44.1
and 48 kHz, while double and quadruple these rates are also possible. Up to 6 discreet
audio channels are supported in 5.1 Surround, but also in other configurations (stereo, 4.0
etc.).
The only limitation is that the maximum guaranteed data rate of around 10 MB/s for
hardware players may not be exceeded. This means that for 5.1 Surround 24 Bit sound,
for instance, a sample rate of only up to 48 kHz is possible, as for 96 kHz the 10 MB
threshold would be exceeded.
The following playback times are approximations for the available space on a single layer
DVD-R (44.1 kHz sample rate):
Stereo 16-bit ca. 7 h
Stereo 24-bit ca. 4.5 h
5.1 Surround and 24-bit ca. 1.5 h
Create DVD audio
First, set CD track markers in your virtual project. The same project may be used to burn
an audio CD and an audio DVD immediately one after the next.
When creating an audio DVD, the "trackbouncing" dialog will open. Select either "Create
DVD audio" or "DVD video with stereo PCM".
Note: Please note that the creation of a "DVD video with stereo PCM" does not provide
authoring or image information. For extensive authoring options, we recommend "MAGIX
Movie Edit Pro".
Format:
Select either 16 or 24-bit audio. If "Create DVD audio" has been selected, then the
sample rate may also be defined.
