"DVD-A makes no sense at all at less than 24 bit when used in the context of DualDisc, and pure DVD-V layers make no sense either. It would be cheaper to package such a disc as a 2 disc set. I know - I author DVD-A and Hybrid DVD-A/V discs for a living."Neil,
If this is true, why should be excited about the format. You have pitched an argument for a lack of hirez layers on the DualDisc format.
If true and DualDisc catches on, then won't we see less hirez product in DVDA form (24/96, 24/192)?
In other words, why would Warner or other labels issue a DualDisc with features other than hirez and then also spend money to issue a DVDA?
It seems like this would destroy the economics of offering the DVDA since the marketplace would be even less than its current small niche...
Audiophiles won't get PCM hirez in this scenario which would bolster SACDs niche status.
