Yeah, I had one of these - the Pioneer DV-747Ai - I bought into the SACD and DVD-Audio technology, but unfortunately, most people didn't so it didn't take off. The reason it didn't take off was that there are two competing technologies.legend99 said:As an aside, Pioneer do, or used do a very nifty player which supported DVD and BOTH DVD-Audio and Super Audio and it wasn't that expensive. i think it was the 347 or 747 model...
This is not strictly true - HD-DVD is 15Gb per layer, Blu-Ray 25G. Obviously, adding multiple layers increases the capacity, so arguably, in the future as multiple layers become the norm (as dual layer became the norm for pre-recorder DVDs, although the dual layer recordable discs are still way too expensive) the single layer capacity eventually does not matter that much, if you can live with the layer changes.Goldman said:It looked like Blu-Ray was going to beat HD in the format war-until recently HD announced it could achieve the same storage as Blu-ray.I'd say wait two years-there will be a standardised format. You'd think that thse companies would have learned from their mistakes with DVD platform!!!
