Dual Disks
I was surfing earlier today like you do and came across a manufacturing site which made CD's and DVD's and mentioned "dual discs". I thought I was fairly up-to-date when it comes to technology, but obviously not as far these new fangled "dual discs" are concerned as they have been on the market for over 12 months. A Sony invention if I remember correctly. http://www.dualdisc.com/faq.html
What's a duel disk I hear you ask? Well it's a disk like a CD but double-sided although the "b-side" is a DVD... clever. Apparently no new hardware is required to play them as you treat them like either a CD or DVD and insert them into your machine as normal. No doubt the marketing men will see an opportunity to sell us another player that can play both sides without turning the disk over but I doubt I'll be getting one soon. Took me a while to accept CD's and DVD's in the first place as I treasure my vinyl collection as it reminds me of my formative years.
