DVDs are made from a 0.6 mm thick disc of polycarbonate plastic coated with a much thinner reflective layer of aluminium or gold.

 DVD-Audio Conference Review by Chris Boylan (DVD FAQ, News, Media, Music, Formats, DVDA, DVD-A, DVD Audio Secrets, SACD)
Along with Sony's SACD format, DVD-A is the future of audio reproduction as we know it, and it is capable of some seriously exciting sounds.

DVD-A is actually backwards compatible with all of the purported 40 million consumer DVD machines already installed in this great land of ours… well, mostly.

 DVD Audio
The drums came from the left front speaker, the vocals from the right front, etc. A ripper can certainly compress DVD audio's six channels into two, but if each instrument is allowed to exist exclusively on only one or two channels, it prevents the ripper from excluding any channels to keep file sizes down.

 DVD Audio Commentary Research Paper
Commentaries do offer educational material to those who may be looking for it, but that does not guarantee interest from students, nor does it guarantee interest from the teachers that may use the tracks in the classroom.
Also there is a danger in the commentary form of presenting a certain reading of the film as "the" reading of the film, so the more individual and opinionated a commentary is, the better.
We are very aware that commentaries are very popular with film students and in some cases, offer real gems of information, but again, to be honest, it doesn¹t effect which titles or who we go after for commentaries.
