The Dual Disc Format . .  This is interesting. I've been reading up on Dual Disc and it's clear that they are avoiding referring to DVD-Audio. It's as though they are launching a whole new format and side-stepping the DVD-A vs SACD battle. What they emphasize is compatibility. It plays in your CD player. It plays in your DVD player. And it goes far beyond the content capabilities of the old CD. DualDisc to be Launched in Europe This Spring . .  The launch of DualDisc in Europe was announced today during news briefings at Dolby's London headquarters by Los Angeles based music company, 5.1 Entertainment Group and their Chairman, John Trickett. The announcement marks the first ever release of DualDisc outside of the United States. [Via DVD-Audio and SACD News] Another article at the site pegs 4 March as the date. This is significant news because SACD is much further along in Europe.
