All Sacdlab's sacd dvd audio projects have 100% compatible with hardware DVD-Audio/Video players and have not watermarks and content protection for prerecorded media (CPPM) mechanism. In all our multichannel surround sound projects we have studio original Direct Stream Digital (DSD) and Hi-res uncompressed PCM, wich transferred into Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP) format according to specifications Red Book and Meridian Audio's MHR. We use the tools from M-Audio, Korg, Tascam, Pro Tool Studio Sys. and other brands in our work.

Why SACD disc transferred into DVD-Audio.

DVD-Audio format is the only format which allows delivering Hi-Res sound files to the end user in simple and comfortable manner. It is impossible to have the sound of such strong quality on CD-R or CD-RW. For money you paid you receive large file which you write down on you computer on empty DVD-R or DVD-RW disk and then it is listened on you music equipment. To play DVD-Audio disk your player had to support this format.  To play DVD-Audio/Video Hybrid disk you can use typical DVD player.

What does it mean: DSD, PCM, MLP.

DSD - Direct Stream Digital is the trademark name used by Sony & Philips for the system of recreating audible signals which uses pulse-density modulation encoding, a technology to store audio signals on digital storage media which is used for the Super Audio CD (SACD disc).

MLP - Meridian Lossless Packing - also known as Packed PCM (PPCM), is a proprietary lossless compression technique for compressing PCM audio data. MLP is the standard lossless compression method for DVD-Audio disc content and typically provides about 2:1 compression on most music material. All DVD-Audio players are equipped with MLP decoding, while its use on the discs themselves is at their producers' discretion.

PCM - Pulse-code modulation is a digital representation of an analog signal where the magnitude of the signal is sampled regularly at uniform intervals, then quantized to a series of symbols in a usually binary code.

DSD DFF files, Meridian Lossless files and PCM uncompressed files studio originals are the base for SA-CD and DVD-Audio disks creation.

What does it mean: DVD-Audio and DVD-Audio/Video Hybrid.

DVD-Audio disc contains multichannel surround sound in 5.1 MLP format. Sound quality is 24bit/96000-192000kHz. It is the analogue SACD surround audiophile disk quality. What is better SA-CD or DVD-Audio? This is the longstanding matter of dispute for many experts. DVD-Audio disk is not compatible with DVD player which doesn't support DVD-Audio format. That's why we have DVD-Audio/Video Hybrid. Hybrid disk can be used in typical DVD player. Such disk contains additional 5.1 Surround Sound in AC-3 Dolby Digital or DTS format. If hybrid disk is used in DVD-Audio player it automatically activates DVD-Audio content. Menu function is accessible only for DVD-Audio player.

What does it mean: ISO image file.

ISO file is the generally accepted standard which allows to save image of any disk. It doesn't depend on the disk format (e.g. cd or dvd). ISO files are compatible with practically any programs for computer disk writing. It can be used both on IBM or Mac. Do not use specific settings for burning our DVD-Audio disc ISO file. You can burn it as typical DVD disc and DVD-Audio will be burnt automatically. If you have no software for disk writing please refer to the link. Disk_Juggler_XP or Disk_Juggler_Vista
