I think you could be right: But when mp3 first came around the quality was fairly crappy. But now, it's become fairly acceptable, so long as you're not too picky (like: aww, this is shitty.. you just can't hear the 15000khz on that now can you?)

DVD rips that I have made are almost the same quality as the .vob file: it's just converted into an mpeg instead. Makes a movie onto 3 disks instead, that's all, but DVD copiers are getting cheaper ;-) .. Sound quality isn't 5.1 yet on these rips, but I'm sure that given time people will figure out how to get that too, just as they've sorted the mp3 problems.

Just a matter of time, is all.
