    mkisofs

    The mkisofs application was adapted to correctly create a UDF disk image based on the sector pointers in the DVD-Audio IFO files.

    Usage

    mkisofs -o image.iso -dvd-audio DVD/

    The patch proposed by the dvd-audio project was accepted by the developer of the cdrtools package, Jorg Schilling. It is available out-of-the box.

    This patch against mkisofs also bundles the -dvd-audio and -dvd-video options into a -dvd-hybrid switch.

    DVD-Audio player

    The VLC player plays back both standard PCM and MLP encoded DVD-audio discs.
