Exactly, and there will be no perceived loss if you're an average person 
listening to the sound through the builtin speakers of the TV ;-) Heck, 
most people don't really notice if you'd scale down to 352x288 and 
display it on TV. (unless you have unscaled and downscaled next to 
eachother on two separate tv sets)

Obviously, if you have a super hires very large screen in a darkened 
room, with an equally expensive sound setup in sound isolated room, you 
don't want to touch the mpeg2 stream. You probably don't want DVD to 
start with, but something better.
