MP3 is why SACD/DVD-A failed in the mass market.

Both formats continue to survive as niche audio formats.

Fortunately, there isn't a "portable" version of video for Home theater. People are going to watch video on the Big Screen and the bigger the screen, the more likely they are to value the benefits of Hi-def video. I expect more success for HD video; maybe even mass market adoption IF there is a clear HD video disc format war winner.
