| Why can't they make an MD that will work the way that a DVD does?
They could. But....
A home DVD-Video recorder costs around $2500.
A portable DVD-Video player w/ 4" LCD panel costs around $900.
I don't want to to think about what a portable DVD recorder would cost.
So, what would "M-DVD-Audio" entail? The ratification of the DVD-Audio
specification for a start. The spec exists, but the RIAA has been bitching
about the lack of copy protection on it. Then a "mini-DVD" specification
needs to be defined for the smaller form factor media. Then all of the
existing DVD specifications need to be revised to incorporate the new media
type. Once all that is done, manufacturers can start producing and selling
units.
