I take it the next gen audio (lossless audio,etc...) will leave no reason to keep dvds for their audio?
Such as Saving Private Ryan Dts,or The Haunting Dts?

Until I have a hi def version with new improved sound I keep anything I enjoy. I worry about replacing once there is something to replace it with. There are DTS LD that do not have DTS DVDs for example.

Most LD audio trumps the DVD audio regardless of format. Lossless will always beat the compressed version of the same transfer.

So,will the BR/HD Private Ryan automatically blow away the dts? Or, are there other factors involved?

There will be some commentaries that won't get ported to the HD formats.

Agreed. I guess I mean to ask if the dts Ryan track won't be as reference as it is now when compared.

Yes. Unless they completely fuck up the transfer, there will be no comparison.
