    I want to tell about how I listen DVD-audio in my car, where supported only audio CD.

    Converting DVD-audio tracks to WAV-files

    - go to http://www.foobar2000.org/download
    - download the foobar2000 program (latest stable version).
    - install foobar2000.
    - go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvdadecoder/files/foo_input_dvda/
    - download the MLP-decoder plug-in (file foo_input_dvda-*.zip).
    - copy foo_input_dvda.dll in folder “c:\Program Files\foobar2000\components”
    For Windows7 – “c:\Program Files (x86)\foobar2000\components”
    - launch foobar2000
    - go to menu File/Open. In opened window select file AUDIO_TS, and click button “Open”. Stop foobar2000’s playback of DVD-audio.

    - In the list there can be tracks in which name it is contained (stereo downmix). We sort tracks, having clicked on column's header "Title/Track Artist". Keeping a key <Ctrl> mouse click of the left button of the mouse we select tracks which we will convert.
    - By click by the right button of the mouse on any of the allocated files it is caused the contextual menu and we choose "Convert / …". Appear form “Converter setup”.
    - Select “Output format”: “WAV” and folder for output files (as example, “c:\audio”).
    - In "Specify folder' we choose a folder in which will be placed converted DVD-audio's tracks. In the "Name format" enter “%track %”. Now each file will have name as number of track DVD-audio.
    - If on DVD-audio there are tracks "stereo downmix" we pass to following goal (on tab Processing switch DSP should be necessarily switched off). Otherwise, we should transform a multichannel tracks into a stereotracks. For this purpose we open tab "Processing".
    We switch on checkbox "DSP". We mouse click on "Convert 5.1 to stereo" (in "Available DSPs") and we press the "<=" button.
    - Open “Other” tabsheet.
    Setup “Convert lossless formats” for maximum processing quality:
    * “same as source” – where “DSP” switched off;
    * “32-bit” – where “DSP” switched on.
    - Push “OK” button. We wait the terminations of converting DVD-audio's tracks in WAV-files.


    Sample rate conversion from DVD-audio to CD-audio

    - Go to http://audiventory.com/content/sample-rate-converter-48x44-free.
    - Download AuI ConverteR 48x44.
    - Setup and launch ConverteR 48x44.
    - Push “Open files” button and select all files in folder “c:\audio” (where lie output files of foobar2000).
    - We choose sample rate “44100 Hz”, bit-depth of sample (bit per sample) ”16 bit”. If you wish, it is possible to switch on dither for very easy transparency of a sound. Format – “WAV”.
    - We press "Start" button and wait for the converting completion. It is a pity that in the free version of this program there is no group converting of files. All converted files lie in a folder "c:\audio\ConvertResult".

    Record CD-audio

    - Go to http://www.cdburnerxp.se/?lang=en.
    - Download program CDBurnerXP.
    - Setup and launch CDBurnerXP.
    In appeared form click to “Audio Disk” row.
    In the left top panel we choose a folder with converted in 44100 Hz wav-files (c:\audio\ConvertResult).
    - Select by mouse all files in the right top panel and it is drag and drop them in the bottom panel.
    - Push “Burn” button. Appear “Burn audio CD” form.
    - Insert into drive CD disk. Push “Burn disk” button. Wait for record complete.

    THAT’S ALL.
    Somebody can will tell how to listen to audio DVD on car-audio only with CD support?
