My understanding from examining 20-bit DVD-Audio AOB files (authored
using a commercial DVD-A authoring package) is that they are packed in a
similar way to 24-bit.

i.e. taking the example of four samples (two stereo pairs)

0x01234 (sample 0, left)
0x56789 (sample 0, right)
0xabcde (sample 1, left)
0xf3456 (sample 1, right)

these would be packed as:

0x01 0x23 0x56 0x78 0xab 0xcd 0xf3 0x45 0x49 0xe6

i.e. the most significant 16 bits (in big-endian order) for each of the
four samples, followed by the least significant 4 bits of each sample.

But I haven't even tested this with DVD-Audio, so I can only guess that
this is how it's done for DVD-Video.

Dave.
