But had they done "long term" testing they would have foreseen all the problems and issues way before they happened.One does not design a product to work at the maximum tolerance (1.5mm) and slightly beyond and not expect something to break! That is just not logical.
There is a simple fix coming though DualDisc compatible CD and DVD players that will move the maximum tolerance to about 1.8mm to cover slight manufacturing defects and variances.
The DualDisc consortium was totally blowing smoke and you are willing to risk your equipment, as you actually believe them and not the designers who made your equipment, why? The fact is the DualDisc consortium rushed DualDisc to market without adequate testing to try to combat illegal downloads by offering extra content they cannot get on the web.
Until you can get a DualDisc compatible DVD player you are playing DualDiscs totally at your own risk.
