DVDs have pretty good bitrate, just lower res and old codecs. HD would be nice, but as long as you aren't using an old DVD player with composite, they look ok.

Much better than 480p youtube these days.

DVD bitrates are good for the resolution but without a codec that doesn't just waste those bits it doesn't mean anything.
