In Reply to: Re: SACD is the High Resolution Audio format, DualDisc is a VIDEO format, Mr. DVD-A Cheerleader re-read Sony's quote: posted by Neil Wilkes on August 26, 2004 at 17:58:11:
Quote from today's AudioRevolution:- "Industry insiders in the disc manufacturing business say that it may soon be possible to manufacturer a DVD 9 disc on the DVD side of a DualDisc."So there must be something going on behind the scenes. My take is that it's probably a good thing to "keep it simple" at this stage by using the DVD-5 format for the DVD side.
Several reasons:-
1. the audio timing at 24bit/96kHz surround + extras fits in perfectly with the hour-long play length of the corresponding CD flip side;
2. It keeps the technical risk as low as possible (vital for such a widespread new-product launch);
3. It means the content providers won’t succumb to the temptation to add all sort of ‘bells & whistles’ feature extras, which if they did so, would slow-down the authoring and mass roll-out of many titles in a short space of time.P.S. By taking this ‘phased’ approach, it enables the DualDisc product to hit the streets without further delay, and make a name for itself among the buying public (and retailers). Importantly, this can all happen whilst allowing the disc consortium to get on quietly ‘behind the scenes’ with the secondary job of developing and testing a fully-reliable dual-layer DVD-9 flip-side version, and do so without the stress of being forced to commit itself to rush it to market by a given deadline.
