with two HUGE advantages over DVD-A for the typical Bose Acoustimass-loving general public:
(1) full motion video
(2) discs with labels one can actually read without a magnifying glass ! (i.e. my eyes aren't what they used to be). I had to squint very carefully to figure out which layer was on which side of the hi-rez Music "Soular energy" DVD-A. I am definitely not a fan of "flipper" discs. I'm not sure Joe Sixpack is going to appreciate the sonic differences well enough to put up with the hassle of figuring out which side of the disc to play.
Of course, there is an assumption being made that the DVD consortium can keep up with a viable standard for hybrid DVD-A/CDs. This has not happened yet and may never happen do to potential compatibility issues with all the CD players out there.... we shall see...

For both Hi-Res and AIX (only company I know of that's using double sided discs for the moment)...
Red Side Up == DVD-Audio
Blue Side Up == DVD-Video
That's not too complicated is it?

  This would make it slightly more tolerable if we knew the DVD-A side was always the same color... I don't suppose this topic is being discussed while they try to come up with a good hybrid standard ?
  Now if I can only remember blue = DVD-V ....
  Of course, the disk labels will now be pretty boring. I keep having issues matching discs to case during/after a listening session; the "flipper" discs just aggravates this problem since the label titles will have to be pretty small on discs (if present at all !).

    Oscar,
    You seem to be one of those people that isn't happy without something to bitch about ;-) I was expecting you to post that you're color blind too!
    Seriously, AIX is the only label I'm aware of releasing double sided discs routinely for DVD-Audio.
    As for the hybrid aspect, it's tough to say, since no one has any hybrids yet.
