are there dvds that contain video and dvd-a

[peterS]

for instance concerts or is that too much info for the medium?

Having video with dvd audio aswell is over the top. Dvd audio it self can reach about 10mbits of audio bit rate to include video aswell it would take up massive amounts of capacity you would get something like 45 mins of viewing per disc, not sure but roughly. This is where hd-dvd and blu ray take over.

thanks

I have DVD-A that has also DVD-Video on it, but only 5 songs maximum so, YES, you can have both on one CD ,but the amount of Video is limited like DL86 said.
Does that answer your question?

There are but the video is, at least I think, always in DTS/DD.

I've heard one of Diana Krall's DVD-A's was explained to me that it is video but with a lossless sound track. Not sure if you can do that or not but its what I've heard.

I have several DVD-A's with video on them, REM's Around The Sun, Porcupine Tree's offerings, Linkin Park, etc, but again its all DTS/DD.

[peterS]

so to clarify on a regular dvd (ie dvd-v) the audio is 24/96
where as the audio on dvd-a is 24/196?

[Eric_C]

Audio on DVD-A can be anything upto 48/192 I believe.

Regular DVD is 48khz,16bit. DTS has an optional format that's 96khz, 24 bit on regular DVD's.

DVDA has up to 192khz, 24 bit in stereo, 96khz, 24bit in surround.

Yes, there are DVD-A's that also have video on them. However, AFAIK, there is NO video that uses the DVD-A audio format for its audio stream.

It's probably an issue of licensing, but I wholeheartedly think that yes, video should use high-res audio as a format. Similarly, music albums should be encoded in the highest-res audio out there. So as a corollary, hopefully we start seeing music albums recorded in DTS-HD, DD+, Dolby TrueHD, and other new high-res audio formats on BD and HD-DVD.
