I've actually asked about that once or twice, and the word - right now
- is that it's too expensive to produce, and the market demand isn't
there yet.

Since I can count the demand I know of (uh, two) on one hand, I think
I can agree on the latter. Since I don't know media/production prices
for DVD Media, I can't speak for the former.
