In Reply to: This may be great news: The DVD layer is NOT compromised so maybe Warner will give us full resoulution DualDiscs. posted by Teresa on October 24, 2004 at 23:23:31:
NotMe is correct - the DVD layer is a DVD 5.However, you will have noticed that most of Warner's releases are on dual layered discs (DVD 9).
if you calculate, the disc space required to store MLP 5.1 96/24 and MLP 2.0 192/24 tracks, plus DD5.1, DTS5.1 and DD2.0 will exceed the storage capacity for DVD 5 - that's why Warner switched to using DVD 9.
So, compromises will have to be made to fit material into a DVD 5, esp. if video is also required. either the playing time needs to drop, or resolution.
