: : Didn't Indy come out on Laserdisc back in the day? I wonder what kind of picture quality one would have if they put that into mpeg format on disk?

: As I understand it, the Laserdisc format is very comparable (if not superior) to the DVD format. Burn a CD from a Laserdisc?

Unfortunately, the source medium isn't where the problem is. It's the final product. Although possible, I don't think the economics of making an actual DVD as opposed to a VCD are there to promote this kind of piracy. The drive, software, and media involved in making a DVD are very expensive right now. Maybe after Compaq and Apple start putting Superdrives (DVD-R burners) in all their computers we might start seeing Indy knockoff DVDs, but not yet. I hope they get legit DVDs out before that happens.
