Dolby Laboratories made its first public demonstration of Dolby Digital Plus, a new versatile audio codec designed for the next generation of audio and video storage and delivery systems.

Dolby showed the new codec at the 117th AES convention in San Francisco. The DVD Forum recently selected Dolby Digital Plus as a mandatory standard audio format for HD-DVD.
