Back in the old days Vinyl had a pretty good sound quality then CDs came and took over. But CD's had a lower quality then vinyl.
Then mp3 became an option since the quality difference wasn't that huge.
All kind of protections failed.
So why not raising the quality of official releases by switching to DVD?
The quality difference between mp3 and DVD would be huge, then people might not want to play around with bad mp3 quality anymore.
CD - 44.1khz ... DVD- 192khz
CD - 16bit ... DVD- 24bit
Plus DVD could be surround sound.
Just an idea.

That is not a matter of opinion.
By definition, a digital recording is not capturing the complete sound wave. It is approximating it with a series of steps. Some sounds that have very quick transitions, such as a drum beat or a trumpet's tone, will be distorted because they change too quickly for the sample rate.
In your home stereo the CD or DVD player takes this digital recording and converts it to an analog signal, which is fed to your amplifier. The amplifier then raises the voltage of the signal to a level powerful enough to drive your speaker.
A vinyl record has a groove carved into it that mirrors the original sound's waveform. This means that no information is lost. The output of a record player is analog. It can be fed directly to your amplifier with no conversion.
This means that the waveforms from a vinyl recording can be much more accurate, and that can be heard in the richness of the sound.

The main reason people give for downloading music is that cd's are costly (especially here in India).
If you start releasing music on DVD's then the sales will drop further cos the prices will go up.
If the price remains unchanged i'm all for it.

You must be saying that vinyl is actually able to capture the sound perfectly without any loss in general quality...
However that might not be true, just say for eg. there are two very tiny spikes right next to each other, something would get lost in the manufacture of the record as the thing that cuts the vinyl cannot be as perfect as the original digital sound that was imprinted on it... |

Anyone can rip the sound from a DVD so that won't help anything. Very few people can enjoy the full quality of a DVD because you need expensive equipment. And like Punit says few people can afford it to buy DVD's.

Our music is made 99% with digital equipment and that's why a digital medium is the best solution for it, in my opinion. What's the point of transfering digital content to analog format?
Anyways yes I would love to buy audio dvds. I don't think they would be that much more expensive..

vinyl cant give you anything above about 12000 hz. (depending on the manufacturer) so if you want the hihats to sound right, you have to use cds  |

The industry confinced everybody in the beginning that CD's are so much cheaper to manufacture then vinyl, therefore CDs will be sold much cheaper then Vinyl, but that did not really happen.
I am talking about moving to DVD "without" increasing the price. Everybody would win in the end!

I think that by analising the waveforms of CDs and Vinyls you can detect that vinyl lacks some of the higher frequencies (at least this was the results of the experiment I did).
