OK, this is a DVD release, and for us what is more important is que quality of the film, so sometimes in order to have a DVD with the best quality, we have to remove the extras.

Hello
I don't think the point was why the extras were removed, more why bother with mpeg2 in any form if you are going to tamper with it. I think the point is, if your concern is quality then rather then re-encoding the movie to mpeg2 and removing the extras, you are better using the far, far, far, far superior method of encoding which is mpeg4 (xvid, divx). Whilst i'd generally disagree about the applying filters bit improving, I'd choose mpeg4 over mpeg2 any day of the week because of the waste
So I believe the point was, that in his mind, releasing using mpeg2 is completely pointless unless you do not encode or strip it at all and preserve the dvd 100% (ie. you do not re-encode, you do not remove extras, etc.)... keeping it at a DVD9 if that's what it was. When you start removing and compressing then it seems a tad pointless.
Whilst I'm lazy and grab dvdrs off of newsgroups, this is solely because of the speed of acquisition... I'd tend to agree with the inferiority of DVD-r as a release format; I don't use it when mpeg4 is there, and i'd not download a dvdr off of emule myself.
On the extras note, I myself don't care... If i care about a movie enough to want the extras I'd buy the DVD
