As a pioneer in the industry to develop DVD-ROM, I can tell you first hand that DVD is dead. The only clients for it have been people with video (movies) to transfer. Even the most non-technical feel that all video will be available over the net soon, so why bother buying DVD's and DVD players? Internet II, digital TV and a host of other high speed connections will render putting the video on a disk silly, except maybe for storage.
