When HD DVD & BluRay come out they will be able to do High Resolution Audio with High Resolution Video at the same time!

I really enjoy my 2 Chesky 96kHz 24 Bit 2 channel Super Auidio Discs (Chesky's Name for DADs) with full motion Video. I love these and would like more but since the "Video" specification only allows 2 channel high resolution PCM at 96/24 and most folks want surround sound and added to that the music itself is totally unprotected. I know no more will be coming. I know it would severely limit playing time but why doesn't DVD-Audio allow high resolution audio with the Video? The Video clips on DVD-Audio's are usually Dolby Digital.
With the coming of HD DVD the audio will be some form of lossless compression for both Multi-Channel and 2 channel stereo (with high resolution 2 channel stereo mandatory). Much like current DVD-Audio but will all video including movies!
Anyway these woulderful Chesky 24/96 Super Audio Discs (DADs not SACDs) with full motion video that play for about 1 hour each are and are playable on ANY DVD player at full resolution in 2 channel audio:
CHUCK MANGIONIl The Feelings Back
Chesky CHDVD 194
SARA K.: No Cover, A Live Recording
Chesky CHDVD 195
I highly enjoy and recommend both of them, there is a different kind of thrill to here high resolution while watching people play the music.
I know of the Honeyboy Edwards on Analogue Productions and 2 Ryko 24/96 DVD Video singles. Does anyone know of any other full motion Videos with 24Bit 96kHz audio?
Thanks in advance,
Teresa

I believe the reason DVD-A cannot support moving pic video is because the transmission limit of 9.6 MB/sec would be exceeded. (96 x 24 x 6 = 13.8 MB/s) It takes MLP to even get down to the 9.6 limit.
Where did you obtain your Chesky disks?

  Blu-Ray specs do not as yet allow for high resolution lossless uncompressed multichannel Audio, at least not according to the DVD-Association.
  HD-DVD does - MLP has already been chosen as one of the Audio formats.
  Blu-Ray has made mutterings about some as yet undetermined Audio support at some time, but so far it is not in the proposals.
  The reason DVD-A cannot play Video with the High Rez audio in it's Video clips at the moment is because the video clips are multiplexed into the Video_TS, and the hi res audio is in the Audio_TS which is a different partition on the disc.
  It would be akin to running an app out of a Win98 partition at the same time as being in the XP partition.

  - Blue Ray adopted DTS-HD loss less high rez - Karl W 09:41:45 11/15/04 (4)
    They have adopted at least one high rez format. It's in the DTS press release that was released about a week ago.

      I missed that - thank you.
      Still, no MLP which means no backwards compatibility.
      I hope Blu Ray gets the bums rush, and HD-DVD comes through.
      Also, don't forget the Chinese also want to play - and they make the vast majority of players currently sold right now. Joe & Jane public want cheap, not good.
      Plus Microsoft are also the only players in town with working HD video at the moment - it is already there in WMP 10.

        What is supposed to be compatible with what?

        How are owners of DVD-Audio discs supposed to play them on a hypothetical Blu-Ray setup then if it will not support MLP?
        Or don't Sony care?
        Sorry - silly question. Of course they don't.
        I hope Blu-Ray dies - and fast.
        Long live HD-DVD instead. Stick with the DVD Forum proposals - they write the damned specs. Sony are just selfish & self seeking tightwads.

        The two issues are not directly related. It's entirely up to the manufacturer whether a Blu-Ray player plays non-Blu-Ray formats, such as CDs, MP3s, DVD-Vs, DVD-As, SACDs, etc. Now it may be that if Blu-Ray makers were forced to pay for MLP, they would be more likely to support DVD-A, since it would involve less incremental pain.

Yep - no need for seperate "audio format" - Max 17:36:53 11/13/04 (0)
Also the next format will support at least 8 channels.
If I were running, say, Telarc, I would think seriously about videotaping (in HDTV!) the recording sessions. Then release them on a hybrid CD/BluRay disk in a few years...why not?
