AAC Chosen For DVD-ROM Section Of DVD Audio Discs

sootman writes "According to a news post at HighFidelityReview.com: 'The DVD Forum has chosen AAC for the DVD-ROM zone of DVD-Audio discs - the inclusion of a low-resolution (lossy) track suitable for solid-state and portable devices has long been championed by DVD-Audio figureheads such as Dolby's John Kellogg as a way of enhancing the value of the format to all listeners, not just those interested in its high-resolution potential. The selection of AAC came after a number of competing formats were proposed; they included MP3, ATRAC and Microsoft's WMA. Additional formats, such as [Ogg Vorbis] for example, were not put forward for consideration.'"

    Crikey, the quality of moderators these days

    I couldn't agree more. There's some sort of downward slide going on here at Slashdot. And despite high Karma and frequent meta-modding, I get mod points far less often than a year or two ago. I think that someone is gaming the system.

    Anti-Slash, for one.

    Maybe you are getting far less mod points because the slashdot user base has grown very large.

    That's why you add your own Root CA into the Root Certificate Store, and sign your own drivers.

    I've tried it - works like a charm.
