Please excuse this one paragraph as i have just broken my enter key (bloody Man United only drew against Leeds left me angry). Anyway, my question is this. I read through these forums all the time as Wilkes and A_Klingon will know and I haven't seen this mentioned yet. DVD-A, like its big brother DVD-V, is so far restricted to the capacity of a DVD disc. We are all probably aware of the increasing need for larger volume media to store more and more data (music/vieo/whatever). With the Red laser based systems currently in use, the limit is pretty close. However, with the introduction of the Blu Ray and other Blue Laser systems that offer 20GB + of storage, will there be any foreseable problem with integrating DVD-A into a blue laser system. My assumption is based on the knowledge that mpeg2 will still be used on the Blue Laser systems, regardless of the type of disc (ie: mpeg2 is still used on both DVD+R/- with no effects). I presume DVD-A will still stay in the same format on these new discs if it is introduced. I know im jumping the gun a bit, but any thoughts on this? Also, i took your advice Klingy and got myself a Pioneer DVD565K, what an amazing system. Its got the component out Y/Pb-Pr?/Cb-Cr that i need to connect into the VGA of my projector (which i just changed to the Optoma H56 which is soo good id recommend everyone to get one). My last question is on the merging of the DVD-Video with the DVD-Audio quality. Say we move into a Blue Laser system, there will be a lot more room for the higher quality video as well as higher quality audio. Do you see DVD-A/V being combined in a multi-channel format for the Home Cinema enthusiast like myself. I have a THX certified 7channel amplifier (6.1) with some quality speakers and would reall love fro once to get the sound quality it deserves, not the pretty poor AC3 6channel sound and the fairly decent DTS. Again my apologies for the lack of paragraphs. Thanks in advance, Chris
More good points.
I guess the answer will depend on the available bitrate from the blu-ray system.
DVDA needs 9.6 Mb/sec for 24/96 surround with MLP encoding as mandatory, 'cos the uncompressed bitrate of 24/96 surround is 13.something Mb/sec, I forget exactly what.
As for linking Videos to the High res component, I can already do this using DiscWelder Chrome, and the feature will be fully enabled in the version 2 upgrade due out any day now.
Don't know the 565K, but I do have the 565A universal player and it is truly superb.
