The invention relates to a double-sided optical data carrier that contains, on the two sides, data in different logic and/or physical formats. One side conforms to the standard specification of a Super Audio CD (SACD), whereas the second side contains data in a format that differs therefrom and is preferably DVD-Video and/or DVD-Audio. The invention makes it possible for example for a hybrid SACD/DVD-Audio to be introduced, on which one side contains music for SACD players whereas the other side is compatible with DVD-Audio players. In addition, a hybrid SACD/DVD-Video can be produced that, on the SACD side, contains music in a high-resolution format, whereas the DVD-Video side mixes music and video, something which, to the inventor, seems essential for a broad spectrum of music (video clips for rock/pop, live video of jazz, music videos of operas, musicals and ballets, live recordings of concerts, etc.).
Double-sided optical data carrier in disc format having at least two data layers, which contains at least one high-density data layer according to the Super Audio CD format on one side and at least one layer in a data format which differs therefrom physically and/or in respect of logic on the opposite side.
