Agreed....DVD's have rules and limits. Their is an "authoring protocol" system in place. This is why DVD movies "soundtracks" are consistant.
CD...no rules have been put in place..only "suggestions"
When I grew up with Digital audio.. -17dB full scale was the suggested "analogue zero" or 0.775VdBV @ 600ohms. (or is that dBm?? I forget.
Then Sony Dat Machines calibrated to -16dB, then it went to -14, then -11 and now it does not exsist at all. No protocol, no rules, we have something that is out of control and out of hand..and poorly understood.
It is hard to understand when their is no protocol.
Bob Katz has "tried" to change things with his -14 "K" scale, but it fell on deaf ears..and no wonder why...the attitude is "rules, we don't want no stinkin rules..lets rawk (sigh)
