I agree in large measure with ciclid--by omitting extras, a higher bit rate for sound and video is possible.However, the debate over superbit vs. "regular bit" is roughly parallel to hi-rez audio (SACD, DVD-A) vs. redbook CD debate (the latter is more complicated, since vinyl comes into play).
I only own one superbit DVD--"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Legends of the Fall is out in both the regular snd superbit versions. I read reviews on the superbit version, and the reviewer said he could see no differences--or at least not enough improvement--to justify the expenditure (superbit is 2x the regular), and in fact, now that the price of the regular version had fallen to 10.00--he suggested to get it! (This review "may" be at www.rottentomatoes.com . . . if my memory serves me correctly).
So it just depends on how well they do the superbit version. Frankly, I'm all for higher quality, and higher quality "software" is cheap, relatively speaking, and you don't need to purchase a new DVD player per se--though now we all have to upgrade to one with DVI connector.
