Update on Sacd II

[ftran999]

Earlier this week there was a short thread on the supposed upcoming SACD.
Well I used the word supposed intentionally because according to discussion
on Audio Asylum this news about the new upcoming format may be nothing more
than a false rumor.

False rumour? I wouldn't be so sure of that. The 1997 publication of
SACD-A technical proposal by Sony and Philips clearly stated in the
table of comparison between the conventional CD and SACD that SACD's
enhanced capabilities include Text, Graphics and Video.

Further the paper claimed that they have met the International
Steering Committee's(ISC) wish list by meeting all the 13 requirements
of ISC and one of them was the new format should able to store audio,
video and data.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we witness a much superior video
playback of SACD soon.
