DDM - Don't count on it .. DVD is nowhere near mainstream enough ... plus SMAC isn't a graphical (memory eating) type of games ... it's success lies in it's simplicity !!!
There really isn't a need for DVD unless you plan to have alot of movies in there !!!
So either way, don't count on it !!!
But that in no way means that SMAC wont be amazing !!!

I think we should all be optimistic.
If they do release the DVD version, I would say the following enhancement:
- better cutscenes
- lots of scenarios with built in cutscenes
- CD quility dolby-digital sound in all aspects
(music, sound effect, etc)
- More terrain, units, and perhaps tech
- Provided in multiple language choices
- More detailed graphics
- etc
