To burn Dolby Atmos music to Blu-ray, we first need to convert ADM WAV files into TrueHD’s MLP format. After conversion, we can use Blu-ray authoring software like Yuhan Blu-ray Creator to create a fully functional Blu-ray disc with Dolby Atmos support, custom menus, and interactive song selection.

Part 1. Understanding Dolby Atmos Audio Formats

1. ADM WAV Format

ADM WAV is a multi-channel audio format designed for immersive audio production. It is commonly used in professional music and film production workflows and is compatible with Dolby Atmos systems. However, this format is not natively supported by Blu-ray discs.

2. MLP (TrueHD) Format

MLP, also known as Dolby TrueHD, is a lossless compression format used in Blu-ray authoring. This format is essential for preserving Dolby Atmos metadata and ensuring proper playback on Blu-ray players.

Part 2. Convert ADM WAV to MLP (TrueHD) Format

Since Blu-ray discs do not support ADM WAV files, we must first convert them into MLP format using Dolby Media Encoder.

Using Dolby Media Encoder to Convert ADM WAV to MLP (TrueHD):

Download and Install Dolby Media Encoder

• You can download Dolby Media Encoder from the official Dolby website:
  Dolby Media Encoder

Load ADM WAV File

• Open Dolby Media Encoder and import your ADM WAV file.
• Ensure that the correct Dolby Atmos metadata is preserved.

Select Output Format

• Choose TrueHD (MLP) with Dolby Atmos metadata as the output format.
• Adjust any necessary encoding settings such as bitrate and channel configuration.

Start the Encoding Process

• Click on the encode button to begin the conversion process.
• Once complete, your Dolby Atmos audio will be saved in MLP (TrueHD) format.

Now that we have our Dolby Atmos file in MLP format, we can move on to creating a Blu-ray disc.

Part 3. Authoring a Dolby Atmos Blu-ray Disc with Yuhan Blu-ray Creator

After converting the ADM WAV file to TrueHD MLP format, we can use Yuhan Blu-ray Creator to burn the Dolby Atmos music onto a Blu-ray disc.

Features of Yuhan Blu-ray Creator for Dolby Atmos Music:

• Supports MLP (TrueHD) audio with Dolby Atmos.
• Allows you to create interactive Blu-ray menus.
• Provides options to add cover art and background images.
• Supports high-resolution video backgrounds for menu customization.
• Ensures seamless Dolby Atmos playback on Blu-ray players.

Step to Burn MLP(Dolby Atmos) with Yuhan Blu-ray Creator

Before we start, we need to download and install Yuhan Blu-ray Creator. If your computer is Windows, you can click the button on the left below to download it. If your computer is Mac, please click the button on the right below to download it.

Step 1: Add Dolby Atmos music files

Open Yuhan Blu-ray Creator, select the "Blu-ray" tab at the top, confirm that you are creating a Blu-ray. Then, click "Add Music" to add the MLP files.

Step 2: Music Settings

Click the "Edit" icon to open the music settings dialog, where you can trim audio with millisecond precision and accurately set the start and end times. Additionally, you can customize the music cover display with three options: full-screen cover, half-screen cover, or no cover display.

Step 3: Select a menu template and customize it

Yuhan Blu-ray Creator offers a powerful menu editing function with four scene display modes: File (Icon), File (Text), Chapter (Icon), and Chapter (Text). For music Blu-ray discs, we recommend selecting File (Text) for better organization. Additionally, Yuhan Blu-ray Creator supports multiple subtitles for audio tracks, which is why a "Setup" button appears on the main menu. However, since this button is unnecessary for music Blu-ray discs, you can simply remove it by pressing the Delete or Backspace key on your keyboard.

Step 4: Advanced Settings

This step is crucial. Yuhan Blu-ray Creator offers two audio processing modes: re-encoding to AC3 or copying the original audio. The Audio Copy mode preserves the original quality but requires the audio to be encoded in AC3, DTS, TrueHD, or Blu-ray PCM. Since Dolby Atmos is embedded in TrueHD, selecting "Audio Copy" ensures that the output Blu-ray retains the original 7.1-channel audio without any loss in quality.

Step 5: Output Settings

Click the Start button to enter the pre-production settings dialog. Here, you can choose how you want to export your content, Yuhan Blu-ray Creator offers three output options: Blu-ray folder, ISO, or burn to disc, you can also set the disc's volume label, output path, etc.

Step 6: Start Creation

Click the start button above and Yuhan Blu-ray Creator will start working, you just need to wait for a few minutes to finish. Please note that if Yuhan Blu-ray Creator is not registered, you will only be able to output 2 minutes per piece of music.

Part 4. Playing Your Dolby Atmos Blu-ray Disc

Once the Blu-ray is burned, test it on a Dolby Atmos-compatible Blu-ray player and home theater system.

Recommended Blu-ray Players for Dolby Atmos:

• Sony UBP-X800M2 – Supports Dolby Atmos and TrueHD playback.
• Panasonic DP-UB820 – Offers high-quality audio output with Dolby Atmos.
• LG UBK90 – An affordable option with Dolby Atmos passthrough.
• Oppo UDP-203 – A high-end player with excellent audio support.

To experience the full impact of Dolby Atmos, ensure your home theater setup includes:

• A Dolby Atmos AV receiver (e.g., Denon, Marantz, Yamaha).
• Ceiling speakers or upward-firing Atmos-enabled speakers.
• A high-quality Blu-ray player that supports TrueHD (MLP) audio.

Alternative Method: Creating a Dolby Atmos Blu-ray ISO File

If you don’t have a Blu-ray burner, you can create a Blu-ray ISO file using Yuhan Blu-ray Creator and store it digitally.

Steps to Create a Blu-ray ISO File:

• Follow the same process in Yuhan Blu-ray Creator.
• Instead of burning to a disc, select “Create ISO File”.
• Save the ISO file to your computer.
• Use software like PowerDVD, DVDFab Player, or VLC (with TrueHD support) to play the Blu-ray ISO.
• If needed, later burn the ISO to a Blu-ray disc using a Blu-ray burner.

Part 5. Conclusion

Burning Dolby Atmos music in ADM WAV or MLP format to Blu-ray requires a two-step process:

• Convert ADM WAV to MLP (TrueHD) using Dolby Media Encoder.
• Use Yuhan Blu-ray Creator to burn the MLP file to a Dolby Atmos-compatible Blu-ray disc.

With these steps, you can preserve high-quality Dolby Atmos audio and enjoy immersive music on your home theater system. Whether you choose to burn a physical Blu-ray or create a digital Blu-ray ISO, these methods ensure optimal playback for your Dolby Atmos audio collection.
