Naxos is reportedly moving away from SACD and
concentrating on plain old vanilla CDs.

Sounds like a good idea.

Is this typical of the industry?

Word has it that DVD-A is dying and only Sony's deep
pockets are keeping SACD afloat. Remember beta?

I remember at the time that many people in broadcast and
duplicating thought that Beta was superior. In fact
there were some companies using Beta for local ENG.

The Betacams that were used for ENG used a different format. But thanks
Iain for showing once again what little you actually know about the
technolgies that you pretend to have expertise in.

Arny. DearArny. Read what I said.
I said Beta, not Betacam. You have chosen to confuse the two.
Beta is a four letter word. I remember you used to be quite proficient
with those:-)

I am talking about the original Beta not BetaCam or digital BetaCam.
Here in Europe where we have a sensible PAL system, Beta was used by
local TV staions for ENG.

BetaCam and DigiBetaCam are current prof broadcast formats.
