dvda-author, the first open source DVD-Audio authoring software has been released at http://dvd-audio.sourceforge.net

This initial "alpha" release of dvda-author is capable of taking up to 99 16-bit Stereo WAV files at any of the samplerates supported by the DVD-Audio standard (44.1KHz, 48KHz, 88.2KHz, 96KHz, 176.4KHz or 192KHz) and creating an AUDIO_TS directory compatible with hardware DVD-Audio players.

The next developments will be support for multiiple DVD-Audio "groups", 20-bit and 24-bit files and 6 channel surround. A cross-platform GUI version of dvda-author is also in development.

dvda-author is available to download from http://dvd-audio.sourceforge.net/alpha/ and usage is documented at http://dvd-audio.sourceforge.net/howto.shtml

The dvda-author release contains both a Windows executable and full source code (suitable for Linux, Mac OS X and any other platform with a C compiler) and is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
