DVD A

I was looking around on Surround Sound and will be working with Pro Sound (Richard) and his Yamaha 01V96 mixer this weekend.

So the question is can we record to a DVD or CD the Dolby Digital.

I found this.

Will work on this over the weekend and holiday and just wanted to share with you all to help with storing some of your music.
 
Have fun and best of luck!

Though I'm not entirely sure I follow exactly what you're trying to do. Are you actually trying to create new 5.1 mixes? Or are you hoping to archive the existing 5.1 Mixes of commercially sold DVD-Audio albums onto DVDs/CDs?

I once upon a time did something similar to the latter when I converted a bunch of the DVD-A and SACDs in my collection into 5.1 DTS-CDs. And then digitally ripped those to a hard drive for wireless playback playback from my laptop to my surround system for my personal use. Granted, I had hit and miss results due to the fact I have no real skill and was merely doing stuff not unlike analog dubbing of cassettes from decades ago. I hooked up the analog outs from the Dvda/sacd player into the analog inputs of a Creative Soundblaster device which then converted the analog signal to digital and essentially it covered/created/outputted a 5.1 DTS signal via Toslink (surprisingly, at 44.1khz 16 bit which made for playable DTS-CDs after that loud burst of white noise before the receivers decoder kicked in). So so I merely sent that optical signal to the Toslink input on a home market component sized CD REcorder that only accepted those royalty paid special CD-Rs. No computer programs. No computer at all since the Creatvie device was essentially a standalone box.

It was kind of a fun project for me at the time, but a very long, cumbersome and inelegant process.
