Sunncomm Intros DVCD Hybrid


A new acronym for you: the DVCD. MacBidouille reports that SunnComm has introduced this hybrid format, which contains support for both CD and DVD formats on the same side of a single disc.

Previous hybrids, which are fairly widely available as video/audio DVD/CDs, have had one side CD audio formatted, while the other side is DVD-Video.

SunnComm's DVCD reportedly reduces manufacturing costs by combining the two on a single side of the disc.

Commercial versions of the disc will - you guessed it - support copy protection for both audio and video content, but apparently the copy protection scheme will work on both PCs and Macs.
