RE: MP3 is why SACD/DVD-A failed in the mass market.

Posted by mdavis on June 26, 2007 at 17:01:40:
I would have to disagree. MP3 was not even going full bore when SACD and DVD-A hit the market but MP3 does prove the point that the public is quit happy with lower resolution and can't tell the difference. The formats failed because of the reasons I stated and because of all the confusion [eg. dual disc, hybrid disc, disks that wouldn't play in every player, unknown or lower resolutions recorded on the disc, etc.]. A niche market can hardly be considered a success with these formats.
