@1 : there's nothing stopping them from having DVD or even BD quality streams. Youtube has been doing it for years.

@2: Then should put those dvds onto streaming...

I don't even see why someone want to wait the several days required for a DVD, when more illicit methods can give you the movie in question in a matter of hours, or even minutes (If you're lucky to have such a godly line).

Long term, netflix's DVD service is DOOMED.
