Any word from Jim?
Actually forgot I wanted to post about it here. Sorry about that.
He has been... surprisingly unhelpful. First I informed him about the AC3 64kbps audio, and even offered to remaster the disc for him. Here was his response:
Thanks for the observation. Unfortunately, the software I use to create the DVD does not have any other options for audio. I’ll certainly keep this in mind for any future DVD project. To tell you the truth, I don’t hear any differences from the MP3, one or two spots, perhaps. It’s like the vinyl versus CD discussion – some people miss the “warmth” of vinyl records; to me they just sound scratchy J
To make a quick comment on vinyl vs CD, I noted that CD audio is able to losslessly represent any sound the human ear can hear. To simply my request, I ask him if he would be willing to offer lossless FLAC renders for those who purchased the DVD (possibly with proof of purchase by forwarding the order confirmation). Specifically: "Really, the only reason someone would purchase the DVD is for perfect audio quality, so you should do something to rectify the situation."
Ok, I put a zip file of 320kbps mp3 files here:
... snip ...
So his solution to the problem was to zip up the mp3s hosted on his site and send a link. Silly considering they're all available for download from the site. I reiterate that he should give lossless renders, and that I don't feel that this is asking too much from him. But seeing as I got no response I have to concur with your suggestion "Do Not Buy!"
Perhaps his "high quality" synth is only able to produce mp3 files. :P
