LPCM from DVD-A to Blu-ray?

[Josh]

Has anyone ever tried pulling the LPCM data off a DVD-A and burning onto a Blu-ray? I've been looking for ways to convert the NIN album The Slip to something any Blu-ray player can read. I'm having difficulty finding a program that will convert WAV to LPCM at full bit and sample rate of the source, and it looks like Roxio Toast can do that by creating a DVD Audio disc.

I imagine that one could pull the LPCM tracks off that disc, and then build a Blu-ray disc so that the player will read it as a Blu-ray and then play the LPCM track (as if it were a movie).

Any ideas?

Don't have a solution, but want to throw out a couple of things and possible educate myself.

I'm not sure how Roxio Toast would encode the DVDA, but DVDA should be encoded in MLP and not LPCM right? All the DVDA images that I have seen out there (like Pink Floyd's DSOTM) were .iso's imaged from the MLP data.

It seems like if you encoded a DVDA, you would then need to decode the MLP data back to multichannel LPCM and then find some way to create a BD from that. Seems like a circuitous way to get from WAV to LPCM, but if it's the only way available I suppose...

Since DTHD is derived from MLP, maybe there is some easier way to convert an MLP encoded multichannel track to a DTHD track which could then be used to create an audio only BD?

Anyways, just thinking aloud. Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable than I will have an answer for you.

Unforunately, I only could find info with regards to Toast 8, so I don't know if the new version has this capability for sure, but here is a screen that shows you can encode to LPCM:

I've never used the program, but I imagine the resulting files on the disc would be in the correct format, at very least.
