Why does Traders Den ALLOW DVD sharing?

Which in the video world is the eqivelent(sp) of what MP3 is to Audio

Compressed....Lossy....Poor Quality

Rather than embracing the advances in codec and compression that have taken place over the last 20 years

I'm not saying stop sharing DVD's, it is a widely used format

But the reality is there are much better alternatives for high quality storage of Video data in smaller file sizes(H264 and Divx)

I can compress a 28 gig(2h14m) raw DV file to H264 or Divx and create a virtual clone of the original DV that will have a file size under 3 gigs

There are Divx comptible DVD players that will play these files to your TV and even programs to create DVD style menu's and chapters, and it will look better than ANY mpeg2 DVD would

If you are going to argue DVD is better because DVD is what we have always done then maybe you should throw your computer out the window and go back to using, telephones, facsimile machines and USPS mail for communication
