hybrid discs
Optical discs which provide more than one format. Many SACDs are hybrid, consisting of two layers. One layer carries SACD-only audio while the other carries CD-only audio, providing considerable versatility for these discs. Most DVD Audio discs are hybrid in the sense of carrying material suitable for both DVD Audio and DVD Video players. However with most of these the capability is provided by logical organisation rather than physically separate layers or the like. Recently there have been experiments conducted with providing hybrid DVD/CDs, with the DVD material on one side and the CD material on the other.
