Blu-ray v3.0?
« on: 7 Apr 2008, 06:14 pm »
From Blu-ray.com.....

"Surround Records has announced that they will release 'Grieg: Piano Concerto / Symphonic Dances / In Autumn' for Blu-ray on April 25th. The audio was recorded at 24-bit at Henry Wood Hall, Glasgow, from 13th to 15th May 2003 and will be presented using 7.1 DTS Master Audio for a prefect reproduction of the source material.

While there will be a limited visual experience, this release should be considered music-only. No audio only Blu-ray devices have been released thus far, but there is a Blu-ray Profile v3.0 that was developed and approved to provide an audio only experience. Without a doubt, if more companies release high definition audio on Blu-ray, you will likely see these audio only Blu-ray players hit the market soon. Until then, any Blu-ray player will be able to play this disc on your home theater set-up."

Has anyone else heard about v3.0 players?  I like the idea.  But it certainly makes me feal uncertain about the evolving state of blu-ray (1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and now a 3.0?)  Am I thinking about this the right way?

This is a great idea, but will it be the final one for awhile?  We already have SACD, DVD-A, and HD-DVD circling the drain.  I am losing faith in the system.  Thanks for the heads-up BobC
