1. I just did some little tests with DTS. What I found out is that it's possible to burn the DTS-data you get using VOB Snoopy on a DTS-encoded vob on a CD. The CD will be readable from any CD player. I tried the same thing with AC-3 files, but without success. It must be the bitrate that is different from the cdda-bitrate. Any hints to solve this problem are welcome. ;)
