Default Recorded CDs and DVDs

Although we have seen the decline in CD sales, I haven't notice the same in DVD/Blu Ray Sales? Even though this generation is changing to the digital format, everything isn't available digital. So the only way to get certain movies or CDs is to purchase a physical copy. Is this done intentionally to boost sales of certain CDs and DVDs/Blu Rays?

One thing i noticed when i purchase songs thru itunes then burn it onto a disc is it doesnt have the best sound quality. The bass isnt as clear, loud, and the whole thing lacks slightly in surround sound. It is still comparable, especially since you paid for the song legally but id much rather buy an entire CD of an artist at the depatment stores even if it is just for one or two tracks.
I have suspicions about artist compilation CDs not sounding as best as they could.
Yes, it is to boost their sales probably.

That's because the bitrate of an mp3 downloaded from iTunes is significantly lower than the bitrate of a prerecorded CD, so yes the sound quality isn't as good because there is less audio data. 256 kbps is the current standard for iTunes mp3s while prerecorded CDs are 1,411.2 kbps.
