In Reply to: Is DVD-Audio more expensive for publishers? posted by Eric LeRouge on March 15, 2004 at 06:21:17:
I can't really give you any soild information, but I remember a long time ago some figures were posted on the HH about the cost between SACD and DVD-Audio. Cost about licensing, fees and what not.Don't know if those figures were really true or if they still matter, but the difference were quite huge, to SACD's favor. I remember that a fee for the copy protection on DVD-Audio had to be paid, no matter if it was used or not and the fee were a fixed sum, but the amount was variable between a minimum and maximum for the size of the production (I think).
I'm sorry I don't have more real information, but maybe you can dig up the post on HH and see what the deal is.
And again... Those figures might not even apply today...
