Wrong.
They used a form of audio uncommon in DVD movies, which is one hair away from being the same as CD. With a couple of free programs you can transfer that audio to CD with songs divided up into tracks and everything. The burnt disc not only being functional, but actually being "CD quality", isn't an exaggeration - you're literally ripping raw audio and burning it as raw. There's no compression or decompression involved.

On another note, this same type of raw audio is on all other retail Ringo/Jihen DVDs. So if a new album track sounds like a carbon copy of a concert, it effectively is "copying an older CD".
