Music DVD vs. DVD-A vs. SACD
Hello all ~
Back once again with hopefully a tough question that someone can answer.
I found that there are at least three types (formats) of DVDs that have music only and they are "Music DVD", "DVD-Audio" (or "DVD-A"), and "SACD". I discovered that Toast Titanium 8 can create Music DVD's (which are really just like standard DVD's, but they have only music, according to the Toast documentation), but NOT DVD-A's or SACD's.
Well, this doesn't say if I can PLAY DVD-A's or SACD's, and doing searches here, it doesn't appear that the topic has come up. I do know that people have to buy "special" DVD players to play DVD-A and SACD disks.
But I'm at a loss here, can my MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz play DVD-A's or SACD's? If not, can newer models play them? If not, why???
Thanks much all!
