Redbook on Blu-ray

[davip7]

Hello All,

Hoping someone can help me with this one. I have read that it is part of the Blu ray spec that 'ordinary' Redbook (16-bit / 44.1 khz) files may be written to BD-R in the same way that they can be written to DVD-R to make DVD-A discs. Let me explain:

I have a DVD-Audio player that I use to play DVD-A discs I rip myself from CDs. I take the 16-bit WAV filed ripped from CDs to build 99-track 4.7GB DVD-A discs using an authoring app called DVDA GUI (by Adobeman). I'd like to use 25GB Blu ray discs to do the same, but I have no idea what the format is (Profile 3?), or whether a specific audio-only disc is even necessary -- i.e., if a Blu ray disc filled with WAV files will not play on a Blu ray player anyway.

I know most people are interested in high-res audio on Blu ray, but the prospect of 500 full-res WAV files on a single disc is surely of interest to all, not just me. Five0gundred track Blu ray audio discs might stop the ausio side of this format dying the same death as the DVD audio format (and SACD, sooner or later).

Anyone know enough about the Blu disc format (maximum number of tracks, number of track groups) to illuminate this issue? Are there any apps on existence for this yet?

Thanks for all the responses -- Profile 3 is clearly wasted on you...

Don't be nasty. People are probably mostly unfamiliar with this. I used to be an audio engineer and as a software developer, I was responsible for the release of the fourth CD-ROM available in the U.S. I was a founding board member of the now-defunct Optical Publishing Association and I even served on some of the industry standardization committees and I don't even know the answer to your question.

Would you rather be responded to by the idiots who feel they have to post even when they know nothing? By those who write something like, "Well I don't know the answer to your question, but don't you think George Lucas should release the original Star Wars on BD?"

However, what I think most people would actually feel is that unless this is your own content and you want to release these music files publicly and therefore need to do a pressing, there's no reason to record audio files onto physical media. It would make much more sense to record WMA (or whatever) onto a music server.

Agreed. And why wait nearly two years before posting your nasty comment?
