As the other poster noted, the vast majority of DVDs are 480p, not 720p. DVDs don't have enough capacity for higher resolutions for full-length movies.

On the high seas, you can easily get 720p, 1080p, and frequently 2160p versions of everything, with extremely high-quality multi-channel audio, usually in either h.264 or x.265 codecs, and at a variety of bitrates (in case that 50GB 4k BD rip is too much for you).
