I would like to clear up a few points first. I'm not a pirate
and am not doing this for financial gain or distributing any
copied material. When I buy a disc I want to listen to it in my
car. SACD/DVD-A/V presents a problem with this. If I legally
own music I expect to able to use it - in *all* my players. No
different from my vinyl days when I used to tape my LPs to play
in my car (or at parties).

Disc in question is REM - Automatic for the People DVD-A. It is
an exceptional recording and I would rate it as one of the better
hi-res discs I own. I have copied the Dolby Digital 2.0 track
off this disc and once copied it shows these anomalies. Clicking
through the left channel at the end of the first 5 tracks and a
16KHz noise on track 9 "Star Me Kitten" For DD it is a very good
recording and if it was all I had it would be more than adequate
;-) And for a car it is perfect.

The original does not show these traits only the copied material
whether on a HD or burnt to a disc. BTW when played over crappy
little computer speakers you don't hear the 16KHz noise anyway
;-)

I am not complaining about this only passing comment and trying
to help the original poster and saying how I managed to get
around it as a matter of interest.
