[mb-style] RFC: Add release media type DVD-Audio (was: Re: Music DVDs)

2008-12-22 Thread Brian Schweitzer
As 9 days has passed without further comment, and so I can know exactly how to try to give guidance on a draft DVD wiki page, just a simple RFC to clear though this one of the 2 outstanding questions, raised in this thread, which I think are still pending determination as to how to handle them.

+1 for DVD-Audio and Blu-ray (as long as it's spelt correctly. ;) I guess I'd like to hear that there are releases that MB should catalog for HD-DVD before we add that type. I'm neutral on that one. -Original Message- From: Brian Schweitzer brian.brianschweit...@gmail.com Reply-to:

2008-12-22 Thread Brian Schweitzer
Again splitting as a real proposal, for the sake of clear discussion. It does seem that some concerts were released on HD-DVD, so it's likely to be needed at some point, else those get dumped into DVD. Just from a quickie google search: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VDDEQ8

Okay, a really begrudging +1 for HD-DVD (it just feels like voting +1 for Betamax!) But this does get me thinking... I note we have media type of Vinyl but don't distinguish between disc sizes, speed, constant linear vs. angular velocity, stereo/mono, RIAA equalization, and so on. We just say

perhaps this has already come up, but is there any particular reason why i can't see CD-ID additions in a release's edit history? only i think if we had access to that things would be a lot easier - eg a dodgy looking CD-ID addition could be retrospectively checked by leaving an edit note on the

Well, the standards are called DVD and DVD-Audio, right? I guess it depends on if we're aiming more for correctness in titling, or clarity to the users... Brian On Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 9:54 PM, Mustaqil Ali mustaq...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: From a technical aspect, adding DVD-Audio to the list of

DVD simply stands for Digital Versatile Disc. DVD-Video is a standard for storing video content on DVDs, and DVD-Audio a standard for storing audio content. Much like how you have a CD which can be burnt with whatever on it, however there are standards like the Red Book Audio CD and that for
