DualDisc is a type of double-sided optical disc product developed by a group of record companies including EMI Music, Universal Music Group, Sony/BMG Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, and 5.1 Entertainment Group[1] and now under the aegis of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It features an audio layer similar to a CD (but not following the Red Book CD Specifications) on one side and a standard DVD layer on the other. In this respect it is similar to, but distinct from, the DVD Plus invented in Europe by Dieter Dierks and covered by European patents.

DualDiscs first appeared in the United States in March 2004 as part of a marketing test conducted by the same five record companies who developed the product. The test involved thirteen titles being released to a limited number of retailers in the Boston, Massachusetts, and Seattle, Washington, markets. The test marketing was seen as a success after 82% of respondents to a survey (which was included with the test titles) said that DualDiscs met or exceeded their expectations. In addition, 90% of respondents said that they would recommend DualDisc to a friend.[2]

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. The recording industry had nearly 200 DualDisc titles available by the end of 2005 and over 2,000,000 units had been sold by the middle of that year.[3]

...of these turkey sandwiches in a Borders! Apparently the additional thickness of these cd/dvd platters is not really to any particular spec (and cannot even carry the "compact disc" logo on the audio side!) that hardware is designed to deal with, hence one's player (particularly slot loading car players) is prone to choke on said "sandwich"! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DualDisc Neal

Re: Physical singles

... care that much. There's no obvious preference for higher-quality downloads - and in the album market every time the record industry has tried to introduce a higher-resolution format (SACD, DVD-Audio, dualdisc etc.) the pop audience hasn't shown much interest. 4... well, I'm still working on a 4th. :) Limited edtion releases? Not possible with downloads. Possible, certainly,...

... either, despite the wider potential audience. I'll get around to listening to my Neil Young hits DVD again someday, I'm considering a Classic Records "DAD" of early David Kerr double bass, and I can say the cd side of my Rough Mix DualDisc sounds fantastic. I'll try the other side in the bedroom system, but Quads might be better than Kabers! Anyone else doing multi-channel? Stephen
