you spend more time bitchin' and moanin' about this or that than you do actually talking about DVDA/DD software/hardware.When we start getting TruHD albums only, then we can include them here in the future. If the main characteristic of the disc is to watch moving pictures on a TV screen or monitor, it should be discussed either in the MUSIC or VIDEO Asylums.

Have you read my responses to the good Doctor? I've been trying to get to some content myself. That includes equipment for DVD-A as well.Then again, what's the point?
I can see that you want to keep it DVDA, maybe it was Pacman who wants to take the shotgun approach?Sorry.
Personally, I don't have an issue with TruHD being discussed here when and if they start releasing MUSIC albums on the format. As it stands now, Concert videos w/HiRez seem to me to be more Video oriented, rather then purely musical, ah-la SACD, DVDA and DD.

I would ask rather which audience is more likely to interested in discussing the hi-rez capability and quality of these concert releases.A video forum is of course interested in good quality audio, but the emphasis is on the video, and discussions of titles targeted at hi-rez audiences, such as these concert albums that are being discussed are of secondary interest to such a group. I do in fact belong to HD video discussion groups, and though they do discuss TrueHD and audio qualite, there is pretty much zero interest in the releases aimed at the music market, such as these concerts. When it comes to releases, they are much more likely to discuss the next great movie coming out in HD. This is why I don't feel that video forums are the proper venue for such discussions.
Since we are heading into a richer multimedia future, I think you need to understand that the line between the two formats will become fuzzier as we move forward, so the target audience needs to be taken into consideration not just the included mediums.

You have already made it 100% clear that you are not interested in anything DVD-Audio has to offer beyond the music. However, this is a distinct forum from the Hi-rez Highway for more than one reason, because some are interested in richer media experience that is still oriented towards hi-rez audio.That is what one of things that is special with DVD-Audio, that it can offer more than that. And next generation music albums can potentially offer even richer experiences. Video has been cited as the distinguihing difference, but why should future music releases not enhance an album with more than just static images if they are able?
I think the distinction is who is the target audience for a release, not what additional capabilities such a release might have. Should future generation albums restrict themselves from having a video component, creating a fuller multi-media experience to make such as you happy?
You have said in a recent post that you don't like dealing with menus and such (even though this is not necessarily a requirement for albums put together right), but that you deal with it because ultimately it is the music you are interested in. In that case, are you not interested in live performances with hi-rez audio obviously geared to discerning listeners? If you are interested in the music, as you say, then I don't see why the video component should annoy you more than the static video component included on DVD-A. It is still your choice to watch it or not.
DVD-A was designed from the get-go to offer a more multimedia experience than what is offered by traditional albums. New generation technologies expands on that capability.
My last post on the matter."However, this is a distinct forum from the Hi-rez Highway for more than one reason, because some are interested in richer media experience that is still oriented towards hi-rez audio."
Yes, operative word being "some" (are interested. Others are not. DVD-A SOUNDS different than SACD.
"Video has been cited as the distinguihing
difference, but why should future music releases not enhance an album with more than just static images if they are able?'I don't want static images either. I listen. When I go to a concert, I close my eyes.
"Should future generation albums restrict themselves from having a video component, creating a fuller multi-media experience to make such as you happy?"No, it needn't restrict itself at all, but it should be discussed in the Video forum where that it is the focus.
"...you don't like dealing with menus and such (even though this is not necessarily a requirement for albums put together right), but that you deal with it because ultimately it is the music you are interested in. In that case, are you not interested in live performances with hi-rez audio obviously geared to discerning listeners?"Of course I'm interested in it. My interest in music has nothing to do with my abhorence of having a video monitor in my audio system.
"If you are interested in the music, as you say, then I don't see why the video component should annoy you more than the static video component included on DVD-A. It is still your choice to watch it or not."No, you don't seem to understand this very simple idea: no monitor means it is hard to get to the music. I don't want staic images either. Why is this so hard to understand?
