Ronny83 Posted March 7, 2005 at 05:21 PM Posted March 7, 2005 at 05:21 PM SonyBmg has launched a series of catalog numbers in DualDisc version, more info here: http://sonybmg.com/dualdisc What do you think about it? What Is A DualDisc? DualDisc has both a CD audio* side and a DVD side, allowing artists to create in exciting new ways using audio, video and computer content - all on a single two-sided disc. What Is On A DualDisc? One side is the full-length CD audio album. The other side offers DVD content. This may include enhanced album audio, 5.1 surround sound, music videos, artist interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, documentary films, photo galleries, lyrics, computer-ready digital song files, and Web links. It all depends on the artist. Do I Need New Equipment? No (see below). However, to take full advantage of DualDiscs that feature surround sound music, you¹ll need a 5.1 channel surround system. What Is Enhanced Audio And Surround Sound? The DVD side of the DualDisc offers superior audio. Many DualDiscs include surround sound mixes that have been specially created during the recording process. When listened to on a 5.1 channel surround system, the result is a rich, three-dimensional musical experience. DualDiscs also include an LPCM Enhanced Stereo mix of the album on the DVD side. LPCM is an uncompressed audio encoding format and Enhanced Stereo refers to the fact that the audio mix of the album on the DVD side is at a higher sampling rate (48 kHz/16-bit) than that of a CD (44.1 kHz/16-bit). Where Can I Play A DualDisc? We recommend using the DVD side if you have a DVD player in order to enjoy the entire album in enhanced audio and the additional DVD features. The DVD side plays wherever a DVD plays - including many gaming consoles and computers. In a PC, the DVD side acts like a DVD-ROM on DualDiscs that include computer extras and Web links. The CD audio* side plays on all but a limited number of CD and DVD models. How Can I Tell Which Side Is Which? Each side is clearly marked for play on a CD or DVD player. What If I Put A DualDisc In My Player Upside-Down? If you place the DVD side in a CD player, it will not play - just turn it over and re-insert. What DualDisc Titles Are Available? Beginning in February 2005, a range of DualDisc titles will be available across a variety of genres, for both new and catalog releases. Click here to see a list of upcoming releases. * The audio side of this disc does not conform to CD specifications and therefore not all DVD and CD players will play the audio side of this disc.

Bellamy Posted March 7, 2005 at 05:26 PM Posted March 7, 2005 at 05:26 PM I think this tech released last year. but I don't like it, cause both sides are data now, easy to be scratched, and no pic on disc. I really hope Celine's album won't use this tech. I prefer CD disc + DVD disc.and if they release this as new limited version of old albums. then it's just another way SONY try to milk money from fans.

I hate DVDs that are double sided too... and I really like the art on the most of the discs.

AllCeline Posted March 7, 2005 at 10:23 PM Posted March 7, 2005 at 10:23 PM (edited) I think it's a nice idea, however I perfer my 2-disc sets. Like others have said, double-sided discs are even more easier to get scratched or damaged. And I too, like my album art I really hate double-sided DVD's already. For example, "The Notebook," a movie which I so deeply adore is on a double-sided disc (one side widescreen and bonus features, the other side has standard presentation.) And it's so hard, to try to hold the dics, take it in and out of my DVD player, etc. without damaging it. Of course I manage, but it really is a difficult task. ------------------------------- Oh! BTW, I just visited the source of this info and found out that the Christian music group, "MercyMe" is with Sony! Does anyone else listen to them or am I the only one? They're releasing a Dual-Disc too!

Celine's Wife Posted March 8, 2005 at 02:37 AM Posted March 8, 2005 at 02:37 AM Meh, I don't really like double sided disks, they're really annoying Quote Beautiful Sin - My Elizabeth Perkins Website! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/cathydion2/cdfsig.jpg We might kiss when we are alone... When nobody's watching... We might take it home... We might make out... When nobody's there... It's not that we're scared... It's just that it's delicate... We might live like never before... When there's nothing to give... Well how can we ask for more... We might make love in some sacred place... The look on your face is delicate
DjCeline Posted March 8, 2005 at 06:02 PM Posted March 8, 2005 at 06:02 PM double sided CD's or DVD's are crap!!! hate them!! they should stop at the one sided ones...but i guess it's another marketing strategy. these discs can be damaged more easily..so people must buy other ones....

Koolan Posted March 8, 2005 at 07:10 PM Posted March 8, 2005 at 07:10 PM I don't like this idea like the others have mentioned - easily scratched and no album art. I prefer dual layer discs instead Quote Please support the forum by ordering through our Amazon.com referral link below. Click here to go to the Amazon homepage.
Mozinha Posted March 8, 2005 at 10:17 PM Posted March 8, 2005 at 10:17 PM This is hi-tech, probably too expensive for me so... I don't like it Quote http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v487/welovecelinedion/howcute5gv2.jpghttp://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10501;104/st/20080413/e/my+graduation/dt/4/k/f5ff/event.png "And really - isn't NOT caring about what others think of you the hallmark of a cool person?"
GiftedCeline Posted March 15, 2005 at 05:53 AM Posted March 15, 2005 at 05:53 AM (edited) I agree one-sided discs are so much better Edited March 15, 2005 at 05:53 AM by 1LovelyCeline Quote
