None of what should have or could have been done matters anymore. The reason I say that multichannel uncompressed PCM isn't feasible or realistic is precisely because it WAS NOT promoted or supported from the inception of DVD-V. Instead, as you and I agree, the DVD Forum wasted several years coming up with a new, problematic variation that was riddled with compatibility issues, and allowed the market to completely get away from them. What this this means that the vast majority of DVD player owners don't have a player, processor, or receiver/linestage capable of effectively supporting anything but 2ch analog, or whatever can be pumped over a Toslink or S/PDIF connection. So even though multichannel uncompressed PCM is technically possible on DVD-V, the market simply isn't there, making it unfeasible and an unrealistic option. OK?
The OP was spinning a variation of the old "DVD-based media will take over just because everyone has a DVD player" chestnut that the fanboys and format cheerleaders have paraded past us so many times. There are myriad reasons why this was never going to happen. Again, most of this has nothing to do with technology, and everything to do with the market.
