Whats MLP?
Meridian Lossless Packing is the compression standard used on the DVD-A in order to store six channels of 96/24 audio. MLP’s main feature is that it never discards any signal information during data compression (which is why it’s “lossless”) and therefore doesn’t affect the audio quality. MLP gives a compression ratio of about 1.85 to 1 (about 45%) and its licensing is administrated by Dolby Laboratories.
