Ah, that explains it. Thanks. So its just video it can do in realtime.

Yes, thats very true. Are any other formats allowed for DVD-A? The
audio part of DVD video can use MPEG streams IIRC, and we have free-ish
MPEG encoders. 9+ MB/s of 4 channel MPEG would be pretty high quality.
Otherwise, maybe pioneer would licence thier linux version of the MLP
tools.
