There is only one carrier involved here, not two (a single disc), and the disc is neither an audio disc nor a computer disc, but a hybrid. I'm just suggesting that RDA should recognize this sort of a carrier and include it in the list(s). Perhaps "multimedia" as a media type and "hybrid disc" as a carrier type. This is a fairly common kind of a disc that we're getting more and more of. Robert L.
