Could this be good news for Dolby AC-3 chip vendors? Or was this just inevitable? You re-posted: On Friday Dec. 5, the Steering Committee of the DVD Forum voted 8-2 to change the DVD-V specification. The change is to include Dolby Digital (AC-3) in the list of audio types, at least one of which must be on the 625/50 (PAL) disc. In other words, the 625/50 disc must contain at least one audio track chosen from the following types: PCM, MPEG-1 audio, or Dolby Digital. This means that a 625/50 disc can now be made with a Dolby Digital track and without any MPEG audio at all.
