	DualDisc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		DualDisc titles received a mass rollout to retailers throughout the United States in February, 2005, though some titles were available as early as November, 2004.
		DualDiscs appear to be based on double-sided DVD technology such as DVD-10, DVD-14 and DVD-18 except that DualDisc technology replaces one of the DVD sides with a CD.
		DualDiscs take the approach of using a double-sided disc to provide the necessary backwards compatibility; hybrid SACDs are a one-sided solution that instead use two layers: a conventional CD layer and a high-resolution layer.

	DualDisc Guide: CD and DVD on one disc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		DualDisc is a two-sided disc product introduced by some segments of the music industry, which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side.
		DualDiscs are almost exactly 1.5mm thick, and that is at the outer limits of the maximum thickness allowed.
		The "CD" side of DualDisc was cut down to 0.9mm to make a total disc thickness of 1.5mm which is closer to the standard but since the CD specifications are slightly different, DualDiscs cannot use the Compact Disc logo.

	DualDisc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		DualDisc is a new format that unites the best features of the CD and DVD: one side of the disc is the CD content, and plays in most CD players, while the other side contains DVD footage, computer content, or a 5.1 Surround Sound mix.
		DualDisc cuts through the retail clutter by turning your album into a retail-savvy product that includes video clips, photo galleries, audiophile sound formats, or computer-ready multimedia along with your album’s audio tracks.
		DualDisc is still bleeding edge technology, and there are a few potential issues you and your fans should know before you commit to the DualDisc format.

	Service and Support - Important Notice About "DualDisc" To Prevent Product Damage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A DualDisc typically contains DVD content on one side of the disc, such as music video clips and multi-channel audio sound material in DVD Video/Audio format, and non-DVD content (which may incorrectly be referred to as a CD side) on the other side, such as digital audio material.
		Pioneer understands that, although a DualDisc may refer to a CD side, the "non-DVD" side is not compliant with the Compact Disc Digital Audio specification and does not bear the CD logo.
		A DualDisc could get stuck in and may not be able to be removed from Pioneer slot-in type home and car CD products, and home automatic changer type CD products.

		They know the DualDisc format has problems, but it does thwart copying in many cases and so suits their needs, but they are so generously providing a more expensive "alternative" with standard CD audio.
		DualDiscs are created by fusing a DVD layer to a CD layer thus creating a double-sided hybrid disc.
		DualDisc may claim to boast a 95% compatibility rate, but that is certainly not a real assessment of the number of people having problems with it.

		While the DualDisc CD audio side has been designed to play on almost all existing CD players, it does not technically meet the CD specification and accordingly, does not use the CD logo.
		While all licensees are free to expand the disclaimer based on their own policies, legal analysis and disc manufacturing experience, at a minimum, the disclaimer should read: This disc may not play on some CD and DVD players.

		Logically, the twin successes of both iTunes — and its competitors — and DualDisc should spell the end to the stand-alone niche DVD-Audio and SACD formats.
		According to the survey, 59 percent of people who knew what DualDiscs were would definitely or probably buy one, and 72 percent of those who had already bought a DualDisc intended to buy another in the next six months.
		Whether DualDisc proves to be a boon for the record labels remains to be seen, but multichannel hardware manufacturers and sellers are ecstatic about the format.

		Also, and this is nitpicking, but I noticed that the printing of the booklet has been moved just a tiny bit, moved up maybe a quarter of an inch.
		The DualDisc is clearly marked on both sides and looks pretty cool for the minimal amount of printing they could do, since, of course, both sides are pressed with information.

		For anyone who isn't aware of DualDisc, it is a new hacked-together "format" that features a double-sided disc with a DVD on one side and CD-like audio on the other side.
		DualDisc doesn't offer anything that releasing a two-disc CD and DVD package doesn't, and, from what I've read, actually costs more to manufacture than those two-disc sets to begin with.
		The concept of a DualDisc is genius, because now the listener can have the PCM mix on one side and the 5.1 mix on the other side.

	DVDFILE.COM: DualDisc Viewpoints
		DualDisc, the new technology aimed to bridge the casual enjoyment of CD music-listening with the audiophile superpower of a full-blown home theatre apparatus, has been on the market for six months or so now, and is officially kicking into high gear this month.
		The key to a hybrid like DualDisc is thickness; CDs in general have a thickness of 1.2-1.5 millimeters, and the smallest a DualDisc gets is 1.5 millimeters (right at the upper end of that compatibility spectrum).
		DualDisc has a standard DVD layer on one side and a layer slightly thinner than that of a typical CD on the other, which allows for its capacity to swing both ways.

	The New York Times > Business > Media & Advertising > The Music Goes on Side A and the Flip Side Is a DVD
		Thomas's "Something to Be," due April 19 from Atlantic, part of the Warner Music Group, is among the first by a major artist to be released only on DualDisc, a new format being introduced by the major labels that includes a traditional CD on one side of a disc and DVD content on the other.
		Because DualDisc albums have additional content but sell in most stores for only a dollar or two more than traditional CD's, they are marketed as a better value.
		Among the encouraging signs for DualDisc is the recent growth in sales of music DVD's, which nearly doubled in 2004 from the previous year.

	DVDFILE.COM Forum - Dualdisc = death of sacd?
		Now, the flipside to this is that dualdisc doesnt work in some CD players due to its thickness, but this is probably the minority.
		It's funny but in every single review of a DualDisc I've read it is mentioned that the reviewer could not get their CD players to recognize the CD side.
		At least with dualdisc you can rip the CD side (assuming you have a CD-ROM) and play the DVD-A side as you would a normal DVD-A. I use a plextor plexwriter premium and it rips the CD side great.
