Your dvd player will play them in 5.1, but unless you have a player with dvd-audio capabilities, you aren't getting the true 'dvd-audio sound', which IS in fact better than regular 5.1. There are also some video features on the dvd-audio discs that can only be viewed with a dvd-audio player. I have:
Metallica-Black
Stone Temple Pilots-Core
Doors-L.A. Woman
Deep Purple-Machine Head
They all sound great, but I'm waiting to see what else comes out before getting a new player.

I am not sure about region encoding though...I would say no but don't qupte me on it.
Desmondp, if I'm not mistaken you are from Australia, no? If so check out this site http://www.ezydvd.com.au/mech/search...udio&x=22&y=18
And of course there is always Amazon http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...424784-5186305

I only have one "Metallica" and it rocks, I listen in 5.1 on my regular player and it's like hearing a whole new album. Even if you don't have a dvd-audio player, check them out.

With the pre-order of the Randy Travis -Live: It Was Just A Matter Of Time DVD from DVDEmpire, it came with a free DVD-Audio of the whole concert. It plays very well through the DVD player, and I've had no problems.
Now, I have 3 versions of this same concert (DVD, DVD-Audio, and CD) for whatever my mood may be at the time.
