And even greater problem is that I've seen numerous music video/live performance DVDs which also have 2ch 192kbps compressed audio. This is quite enraging actually, if I pay 199FIM () for a music DVD I would think I'm entitled to at least CD-quality audio!

Fortunately at least few of those DVDs have uncompressed PCM audio. I wish it would be realistic to to hope for a better compressed audio format for DVDs but with current licensing and hardware support AC3 is here to stay...
You want high quality? Buy some DVD-Audio discs... Uncompressed 24-bit, 96kHz, 6 channel LPCM audio... Now we´re talking quality...  (Unless the person/persons in charge of the mastering sucks...  )
