That's actually a soundboard recording, taken from a radio broadcast.. !

But that's only because the recording was shared in 24/96 quality to begin with. This sounds exactly the same as the FLAC files that were shared on Dime, with the only difference being I slowed it down to play at the right speed. In other words, we couldn't scale up the 16/44 recording to sound like this. It would still sound the same, and it would just be bigger files. The 16/44 share was dithered down from the original 24/96 files, and that quality loss cannot be brought back.
Can someone tell me what the difference between audio DVD and DVD-A is? Is it that DVD-A has to be 5.1 ?

No - DVD-Audio is an alternative to DVD-Video : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-A
BTW could you maybe slow down the 16/44.1 version for burning it to CD ? I tried to demux the video but for some reason I end up with an damaged file

Of course, that's no problem. But why? It's worse quality in 16/44, which is why I went the audio DVD route to begin with.

Simply because I want to burn all the fantastic recordings on audio cds complete with booklets :)

[i]Sorry, as I’ve said in my previous post, for me 16 bits version sounds better than most of other recordings, I’m talking about the quality of the recording exclusively, not about the closeness to the stage or volume level, although the latter are other very important factors
[/i]
This sounds exactly the same as the FLAC files that were shared on Dime, with the only difference being I slowed it down to play at the right speed.
[i]Although at the beginning I though that this one was authored as DVD- audio, I was wrong, so then in this case I think we haven’t take the most of the audio content…but anyway it’s strange, it should sound different in any case; can you tell me what is installed in your PC for to hear the 24 Bits version?[/i]

[i]Yes, that's true[/i]

[i]Well, there's a huge difference:
DVD-Audio is a dedicated high resolution audio format, which works with 24 bits resolution and up to 192 Khz sample-rate frequency, it can be stereo or multi-channel output, it's a lossless format.
An audio DVD is a disc authored as DVD video and contains menus of audio files, DVD video is usually a lossy format (talking about audio only) like DTS (3:1 compression) or Dolby Digital (12:1 compression)

this DVD- V is absolutely lossless.
And any DVD-V with PCM it's lossless.
and in this case is exactly equal to the source: 24/96
The advange of DVD-A is you could havelmultichannel lossless...DVD-V cannot reach that, nor go beyond 96...well my ears don't go beyond 44.1 :lol:

ARTWOK: just wondering, and with all the respect...why don't simply to take the one made by Vali for the CD and change some of the liner notes (DVD.V, 24/96, speed correction, etc)? imho :-)

I simply used FLAC Frontend to decode the files to 24/96 WAV. I then corrected the speed in GoldWave, inserted cue points to split the tracks, and made the DVD with a program called "Audio DVD Creator."

I haven't downloaded this one yet, Bob, is this PAL or NTSC?

16 bits, 24 bits, DVD-A, Audio-DVD, DVD-V, ... I'm lost !! Lol.
God, this becomes a bit too technical for me, or is my english not being quite good !! I'm sure it is a really impressive project undertook here, and it sounds like the word "Quality" is everywhere around !! so thanks a lot for that one, even if I don't get everything right ;o)
