I feel like iTunes video, in general, is abysmal compared to DVD and/or Blu-Rays. They're too stingy with bit-rates leaving everything looking like splotchy MPEG-1 compression. But with digital distribution being so prevalent, more stuff isn't even getting DVD/BD releases.

I would even prefer a decent quality DVD to a 1080p iTunes download. Less resolution means better bit-rate distribution, even without AVC encoding. 720/1080p iTunes videos usually have a 3-5 Mb/s average rate, that's about the same as a DVD but with double/triple the resolution to cover!
