Nine Inch Nails - 2004.The Downward Spiral [5.1]

I extracted the MLP files from the dualdisc via dvdexplorer_a7, then converted those to 3 sets of stereo WAV files via SurCode MLP, then merged those into 6-channel WAV files via wavewizard. ENCODER: foobar2000 v0.9.5 CODEC: FLAC 1.2.0 PARAMETERS: --ignore-chunk-sizes --best --channel-map=none - -o %d TRACK LIST: 01.Mr. Self Destruct 02.Piggy 03.Heresy 04.March Of The Pigs 05.Closer 06.Ruiner 07.The Becoming 08.I Do Not Want This 09.Big Man With A Gun 10.A Warm Place 11.Eraser 12.Reptile 13.The Downward Spiral 14.Hurt *To those of you who had been downloading my first attempt of this, I deeply apologize. It wasn't until much after I began seeding that I found errors in the FLAC files and had to re-encode them.

I realize that this is a public tracker and there are no ratio restrictions or anything, but I can't help but notice that most everyone who downloads this torrent has basically abandoned it. This is a huge torrent, I can't seed this forever. If you download this, it's very important that you continue seeding it.

Ok, well I've seeded this torrent 10 times over, it seems like everyone who wanted it has it, and there are a handful of seeders standing by for you latecomers. I am now going to reclaim my bandwidth and let the community carry the torch.

Ok, just finished downloading this, will seed for a while.
(5 leechs, 2 seeds)
anyone having trouble decoding these flac files?
use flac 1.2.0 instead of 1.2.1
as per this thread:

So this would give me the real dvd-a surround sound then? not the bs dvd-v rips most of the torrents seem to be in.

nympholept (2008-04-03)

japface: no, i don't think so.
These files are 48KHz, DVD-Audio should be 96KHz.
I thought these were DVD-A as well, but after looking it up and checking the files, it seems like they're not.
randal1013 says he extracted the MLP files - which are the DVD-Audio files, not DVD-Video.
Perhaps these are sourced from the DVD-Audio, but were encoded down along the way.
But I may be completely wrong!
I don't have my DVD-A handy at the moment, so I can't check it.

Oops, my last comment was COMPLETELY WRONG.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Audio
"DVD-Audio cannot be delivered via unencrypted digital audio link at sample rates higher than 48kHz (i.e., ordinary DVD-Video quality) due to concerns about digital copying"
While true DVD-Audio should be at least 96kHz, standard DVD-Audio extraction is limited to 48kHz.
So while the answer to japface's question is still technically "no", (it will not give you a real DVD-A)
this is not DVD-V, and is the best quality DVD-Audio rip that can be extracted.
Thankyou randal1013!

is it possible to make an iso file that would have the identical quality of the dvd-a cause i did download this and it really doesnt sound as good as the dvd-a i had -- unfortuantely my dvd drive scratched my dvd-a a long while back which is why i've been looking for something to substitute. i suppose making an iso would still be digital extraction.

When I started downloading yesterday there were seeds, now there are only leeches... please, when I'll get 100% I won't ever stop seeding this masterpiece!
