Transfer rate for MLP 5.1 96/24 (assuming 2:1 compression using MLP): 6.912Mb/s
Transfer rate for MLP 2.0 192/24 (assuming 2:1 compression using MLP): 4.608Mb/s
Transfer rate for DD5.1: 0.448Mb/s
Transfer rate for DTS5.1: 1.536Mb/s
Transfer rate for DD2.0: 0.256Mb/sIf we assume a 60 minute album, then total disc space required: 3600*(6.912+4.608+0.448+1.536+0.256)/8=6.192Gb (excluding menus and overheads)
Total disc capacity of DVD 5 = 4.4Gb.
As you can see, a 60 minute album at full resolution cannot fit onto a DVD 5 - it needs a DVD 9.
The maximum album length that can fit into a DVD 5 without sacrificing resolution is about 40 minutes. Less if some video is required.
So you can see the latest Universal dualdiscs adopted MLP 5.1 at 48/24 because they were forced to drop the resolution in order to fit a decent sized album onto DVD 5.
