DVD audio recording?

I'd appreciate some help from those of you experienced with digital recording. I have a large number of LPs that I'd like to archive to a digital format. I bought a used CD burner, but I began to wonder if there could be a way to record them at a higher resolution. Immediately, I though about buying a DVD+R/RW machine, but I can't figure out from the manufacturers' website whether or not their machines will record an analog signal in 24/96. Almost all of the websites claim 24/96 DACs and 24/96 digital output, but most don't specify the analog to digital specifications. Those that do, (Philips) indicate a 16 bit ADC. Has anyone had success in recording analog signals onto DVD at 24/96 resolution? What kind of equipment will it require? Thanks for the help.

Jim,

Thanks for the pointer. Diskwelder Steel seems to be exactly what I have been looking for.

Just one question. Diskwelder web site says it burns DVD-A disc. Do you know if it can burn DAD like the ones from Classic Records? I believe those are regular DVD-V with only 24/96 PCM tracks and no video. I don't have a DVD-A player. I would like to play on a regular DVD and feed the 24/96 signal to a DAC.

So basically you want to burn a DVD Video with a 24/96 Audio Track and no video track, that will play on a standard DVD Player. To do this all you really need is a DVD Authoring software package that supports 24 bit audio. I have successfully done this on a PC using Sonic Foundry's Vegas+DVD http://www.sonicfoundry.com/Products/showproduct.asp?PID=810
You can even download a working demo I believe.
