DVD-Audio (aka DVD-A) is a high fidelity audio format that competed with
SACD.  Both are pretty much dead audio formats (have been for about 10
years now).  DVD-A doesn't have video.  It is audio only.  It may be
recorded at 24 bits per sample at a bit rate as high as 192 khz, though 96
is more common.  DVD-A recordings may be in 5.1 surround.  The only way to
hear the full quality of this recording is to play with a DVD-A player.
You can play these discs in a regular DVD player if they have a separate
track that plays in the standard DTS 5.1 format that your movies have.
