I wonder if the producers of the content they distribute will ever get that such a high level of quality.
DVDs are often full of interlaced content (even for short movies), broken subtitles, letterboxed pictures, jerking menus; sometimes they even resize the video to 4:3. The rare downloadable videos are often over compressed or barely compressed (thank you for the 2GB file to this 20 minute show). Similar things happens with bought music: I have paid for many albums distributed as badly-encoded MP3s in zip files with __MACOSX directories and ._DS* files.

If content producers released their raw sources and content monetizers had to compete to produce the best possible downloadable and distributable versions, you'd see much better commercial releases. ;-)
