Well.... DVD was never quality. It was just the first mass-adopted forray into digital. Most DVD's were just the cheapest of scans to digital until you bought the occasional Sony Superbit or Criterion disc.

My point? Only that you could take those VHS tapes and convert them to digital and put 'em on a disc on your home PC and you'd have close to the same thing if you did a good job on it.

Besides, most of the stuff mentioned in this thread could actually just be supplemental material on some actual release.
