I was giving some of the reasons why the comparison might not hold up.

To watch DVD's on a system with no DVD's (netbook, tablet etc) I just rip the iso and play it with a Virtual drive, chews up more space than converting to mp4 but keeps quality intact and is as simple as ripping a cd.

Totally off topic, but I did the same thing with my entire DVD collection, and I'm finding it rather cumbersome now. Aside from taking up a terabyte of space, it requires a lot of bandwidth to stream or copy, and not many consumer media devices (like Smart TVs or set-top boxes) can play ISOs directly.
I'd like to convert most of them to mp4, probably in an MKV wrapper, but it's a lot of work if I want to preserve special features and subtitles, and I just don't want to make another hobby out of it. I just want to watch the movies.
I don't have an ideal solution.
I am sensing an entrepreneurial opportunity here.
