Hybrid DVD-Audios are in the works.


And the check is in the mail.

The discs are currently test marketed i Boston and Seattle. They are here!
Guess what! SACD-Sony is part of the group of firms testing them!


They have been discussed in some depth on the hi-res DVD-A forum on
AudioAsylum. It appears that one side is straight DVD-V. The other CD.
Many of the disks do not have high-res; some do. It is unclear what the
strategy is...Sony's do not contain DVD-A or SACD, leading some to believe
that Sony views this as a value-add adjunct to CD to reach the mass market.
Another group feels Sony is using this as a stalking horse, and that if
successful will adapt it to their current SACD's as SACD2. Time will tell.

They are being marketed as a freestanding, in-store kiosk of limited titles.
