>> And this is why the Music Video DVD, which offered all that for 10 years, hasn't overtaken CD sales ever? <<Look at the sales trends. Look at the stores. DVD is taking over swathes of space where plain CD’s used to be. That’s because DVD offers more than CD.
Now, DualDisc not only caters for both of these markets, but it also allows labels to introduce very high-quality multi-channel audio to the masses, by acting as an effective "bridge" for people to migrate from CD to DVD. Moreover, with hirez being too big to manage on a hard drive, as well as being CPPM-protected, this is a direction where labels want to go.
>> And the price to pay royalties to the hundreds of people who will be artistically involved with producing the graphics, footage, etc.? Not to mention the musicians? <<
People will prefer to buy one multi-content disc, rather than a separate CD plus a separate DVD of the same album.
>> The SACD market may be small, but we wanted it, we have money and we have time. <<
Then you should be in the other forum.
