Silver Member Username: Two_centsPost Number: 229 Registered: Feb-04 | M.R. Thanks for the link. That's great news. Wonder when they'll go on the market. So far, my hi-res format of choice has been hybrid SACDs because of the capability to play them on any CD player. The dual disc DVD-A would now make it equally convenient. |

Unless, of course, that pesky little fingerprint play button shows up. If that comment is confusing, take a look at this thread Thanks, MR! |

Gold Member Username: John_aPost Number: 1442 Registered: Dec-03 | In a statement issued to High Fidelity Review, Bike H. Suzuki of JVC and Chairman of WG-4 said: "DualDisc is officially approved by [the] DVD Forum." It is irritating that the article does not say WHEN the statement was issued. Also "exclusive" often means "unconfirmed" - it is a self-serving plug for HFR. DVD/CD hybrids have been possible for years. There are some already. I recall Gregory has one, I forget the title. It is a great idea, but has been possible for some time. There is nothing recent from the DVd Forum itself, see e.g. http://www.dvdforum.org/26scmtg-resolution.htm What has actually changed? Journalists....! |
