Hello

I am looking for anyone who has taped any of these 3 bands and would 
like to trade.  I have plenty to offer as well as many other bands and 
masters.

Thanks
Clint

"I'd like to take some DATs recorded at 48K and copy them to DVD-R and keep
the same audio quality as the DAT Master."

"is there anyway to create a DVD with an exact bit for bit clone of the
audio from a DAT that will play on a home DVD player connected to a home
audio system?"

What you're looking for is called DVD-A authoring software.  This will allow
you to put uncompressed PCM audio on a DVD.  There are several programs
available for this, only one of which is shareware (this was made available
here onlist within the last year, but my understanding is that it is more
difficult to use than the commercially available software).  Note that DVD-V
has the same 16/48 audio spec as DAT, but DVD-A will allow even higher
quality audio on the disc in up to 6 channels.  Note also that most el
cheepo DVD players will only play DVD-V discs, but players capable of DVD-A
are in the $100 price range.  If you already have a digital soundcard and a
DVD burner in your computer, all you should need is the authoring
software.....

Yours Truly,

Here's another suggestion, if you'd rather go the DIY route:
http://mp3forkidz.com/mic/blum.html  The Panasonic capsules used run about
$2 each from digikey.....

Len's suggestion is interesting if the mics are decent.....that's about the
lowest price I've seen for one that will do a figure-eight pattern, perhaps
he could tell us a bit more as to how well they perform?

Yours Truly,

Does anybody out there know a great program to split up single .WAV 
files for the Mac?  I have a ton of single .WAV files that I want to 
separate into individual tracks, convert to .FLAC, and then torrent 
them.  All help is appreciated.  Thanks!

The DVD specification allows for uncompressed PCM 48k 16 bit audio on 
DVDs.  You would need a DVD authoring program and probably would have 
to add low bit rate video  of the same length (which could be just 
black) in order to have a compliant DVD disc that would play on home 
DVD players.

Alternatively, if you could play back DVD-Audio discs, you could use 
Minnetonka's Disc Welder to create one that would be 48k 16 bit.
