So yes sometimes, especially in North America, the DVD is much worse than Europe/Australian format DVD or BD.
A lot of discs in DVD/BR/4K BR are from the same master. But BR is higher resolution and looks better then the DVD. You really don't want DVD when the BR is available.

Would you go back to an 800x600 resolution Reader instead of a 300DPI Reader?
