I've never had any SCMS related problems recording digitally from DVDs
(audio soundtracks), using a coax interconnect from my DVD player to the
coax-in on my bookshelf.

The recording was not an AC3 bitstream; it was a 96/24 PCM recording (Alan
Parsons Project "I Robot", by Classic Records). I have a Pioneer DV-525, and
I configured it to output a 48Khz signal. This way, I could record
everything on the R90.

 Since Mexico (.mx) is in Region 1 I think it is reasonable to assume
Region
 1 discs, which mean AC3 or dts.

Not really. We are R4. But my DVD is R1.  Reason was that when DVD took off,
there were no pieces of hardware R4-compatible. So everyone bought R1 stuff.

 Yeah, but he did not say anything about ripping the audio out of a
 DVD-Video, so I did not assume he did.

No, I ripped the disc from a DVD-V.

That ultimately depends on what kind of sound is on a DVD-Video.  Different
regions have different requirements.  AC3 and dts include SCMS marks, and
commercial DVD-Videos are marked "final".  MPEG-1 Layer III does not.
Since Mexico (.mx) is in Region 1 I think it is reasonable to assume Region
1 discs, which mean AC3 or dts.

Right. You can (of course) record the audio from a DVD via the analog
outputs of the DVD player. And, on a computer, you can digitally "rip" the
contents of a DVD (both audio AND video) just as you can an audio CD given
the right hardware (a DVD-ROM drive) and the right software (a DVD ripper).
