I guess with DVD movies the concentration is much more on the video (the story & action) than with music orientated genre -> 5.1 is ok for them.
It will be interesting to see just how much opera, ballet etc is released on blu ray. If the format does take off and catch the imagination of the public so they switch to HD, then, if it follows the pattern set by DVD, that music material will follow in significant amounts in a couple of years time.
In the meantime I'm happy with some scaled up SD material that is of good quality to start with. But that is the catch because much of the present releases is a rehash of what was previously on VHS and was recorded in the 1980's or early 1990s and is only of mediocre quality. But as with similar audio recordings, there are some gems there of fantastic artistry which makes mediocre picture quality tolerable. HD will do nothing to help these.
So, I'm holding off blu ray until the end of this year at the earlies and might wait even longer.
