HighMAT is designed to solve the following problems: 'I have a new DVD player that plays my MP3 and WMA discs but it takes too long to load my music & playlists, doesn't do a good job of finding / displaying artist / album information, and the on-screen menu of my music is hard to navigate; or 'I want to burn a cheap disc that has all my home movies and pictures from 2002, organized cleanly so I can view them quickly' HighMAT is really just way of structuring data on today's existing CD/DVD discs for playback of today's existing formats (MP3, WMA, WMV, JPG, etc). Burn a HighMAT Disc w/ MM2 or WM Player 9 Series and you'll see it's 100% compatible with the existing data formats. The difference is an index file and folder structure. When it's played back in a DVD Player that supports HighMAT, you'll get a 'better together' experience - faster loading, richer metadata and on-screen handling of multiple types of data (Photos, Music, Video) - all on the same disc. And it's codec / format agnostic." Definitely sounds like a winner.
