The DVD-Audio format has MLP, Meridian lossless packing. MLP supports
44.1KHZ and other audio sampling rates, where DVD-Video supports only
48KHz and 96KHz.

I was thinking along the lines of using a data format, much like a
homemade CDR can be full of MP3s, with a DVDR you could fill it up
with Lossless Audio files, if only there is a standalone DVD player
that can recognize a Lossless audio codec.
(If a single-sided DVD can hold 4.7 GB, and lossless audio compression
is a about 2:1, you should be able to store 10-15 lossless albums on
one disc!)

Thanks for the info.
I was looking at their website
(http://www.audio-dvd-creator.com/index.htm), but I still can't tell
if the audio files are upconverted to DVD specs (96 kHz 24bit??),
or will CD Audio stay at 44.1 kHz 16 bit?
(Which would mean that CD Audio included in the DVD specs.)
Thanks.
