Is a DualDisc region protected?

I would recommend that no Priest fan buy the DualDisc version of Angel of Retribution. The documentary "Reunited" is apparently 10-minutes shorter than the version on the separate DVD from the limited special edition. That edition costs more, but if you consider yourself a HUGE Priest fan, there is only one choice here.

I wonder if this will be a big issue for older CD drives? I bought AoR by Priest last night and it wouldn't load in either of two older CD drives we have (only 24 months old or so), but it loaded in a newer machine just fine. Didn't try it in the Mac box yet. I just ripped it down (320/44) on a newer machine and then copied from the ripped files to the older machines.

Lono, you can a program like DVD Audio Ripper to rip the audio to wav and/or mp3. I've used it quite a bit, it works great (sometimes it chokes on the track of the DVD where the layer change occurs and you have to re-rip that track.) Worth the $29.

As a huge music nut, this portends very well for the future. It sounds like they are having issues which will keep me away for at least a year. However, I own both DVD and CD copies of too much music. Fleetwood Mac's the Dance, S&G live a Central Park... stuff like that. Another example of what would be awesome is I have some amazing concert videos like U2's elevation tour in Boston on DVD that I would just love to be able to listen to in my car.
