I loved Inland Empire, not sure why so many Lynch fans don't.
I saw it at a theatre in San Francisco, and couldnt get my head around how(to me) the film looked so cheap utilizing the digital video format.

Lost Highway:
USA (region 1): In a recent Video Business article USA Films stated a Special Edition DVD of Lost Highway is in the works. The disc will feature a new 5.1 soundtrack. Most of the work on the disc has been completed, but with USA Home Video's catalog being absorbed into Universal, the disc has disapeared into limbo. No word on if or when Universal will release it.
Canada (region 1): This one is barely worth mentioning. It's pan and scan so who cares!? Also, it appears to have gone out of print almost as soon as it came out. These are the region 1 discs you are seeing all over ebay so be careful - they usually forget to mention it's not widescreen.
Hong Kong (region 0): Several no region code DVDs of Lost Highway from Hong Kong have started showing up on ebay. These are full frame and thus should be avoided.
UK (region 2 PAL): Universal released this title on June 3, 2002 as a part of their Budget Title line. The only extra is a trailer. The quality is pretty poor.
Japan (region 2 NTSC): The disc is a fair transfer, especially considering the difficulties of reproducing the high contrasts of some scenes in NTSC. The bit rate is a bit low however, and some artificating is noticable. It would have been better if they'd made it dual layered and pushed up the bit rate. The disc also contains the French trailer and two Japanese trailers. There's also what appear to be production notes or cast information or something, but since I can't read Japanese I have no idea!
Germany (region 2 PAL): The disc is widescreen in the proper 2:35:1 ratio and 16x9 enhanced. It contains English and German soundtracks. The disc is pretty sharp with very little artifacting. Also included are the trailers to Lost Highway and Straight Story as well as a couple of others. All trailers are in German only. There are also short interviews with Lynch and some of the cast, all in English.
France (region 2 PAL): Lost Highway was released on March 21, 2001 in France by by TF1. The disc is in the proper 2:35:1 ratio and 16x9 enhanced. It contains DD 2.0 French and English soundtracks. The English subtitles are burned on the picture, so they can't be removed. Extras include a 10 minute interview with Lynch, filmographies, internet links and a trailer.
Netherlands (region 2 PAL): The disc is non-anamorphic 2.35:1 widescreen, 2.0 Dolby Surround audio, English and French languages with Dutch and French subtitles. Extras include: Scene selection, Interviews (cast and director), Filmography, Trailer, Featurette and Behind the scenes. (thanks to Dannis van Vuurden and Randy van Rijn for the info)
Australia (region 4): Anamorphically enhanced widescreen transfer, Dolby 2.0 Stereo, Animated menus, Theatrical Trailers, Cast Interviews/Biographies, Behind The Scenes (actually the Lost Highway segments from Pretty as a Picture). Released on July 25th, 2001 by Siren Entertainment. Unfortunately, the image contains the reel change marks (burn marks).

Also a well known director recently said that in 5 years time no one will be using film.
It's not all about cost, although that certainly comes into it. There's a whole lot of other conveniences, not least of being able to see the take as soon as you've shot it
