Yes. You can purchase music dvd's with the data encoded in Dolby digital format - but it never really caught on, so the availability might be short lived.
--EDIT--
The original writer of the question stated that "You can purchase music dvd's with the data encoded in the Dolby digital format." I'm just going to go on a rant, saying that the apostrophe should not be in "dvd's." Does the dvd(s) possess anything? NOOO! Sorry, it just makes me mad that nobody in this country has proper grammar anymore.

New music technology in 1970?
The 1980s was a long time in music technology and the decade saw some huge changes in the technology. Live music technology changed little during the time but recording techniques and equipment made the transition from analogue to digital. The consumer market was based on vinyl records and cassette tapes. Records were by far the better quality and although they used a very delicate surface to store the audio content, they provided years of good quality. Indeed, they still offer good quality today. Cassettes were more convenient and were becoming the more popular medium for buyers. Unlike records, cassettes could be used in portable player such as cars. Sony introduced the Walkman, the first personal music player. In the studio, recordings were made onto analogue tape. Larger studios used 2" wide tape which would hold 24 tracks. With a reel diameter of 10 1/2" and a run time of around 17 minutes per reel, they were a cumbersome method to use. However, quality was excellent and 24 track recorders were the industry standard. The whole signal chain was analogue, from the microphone, mixer, effects and mastering. The digital elements of the signal chain were limited to a few effects units at the time. By the end of the decade, CDs had made an appearance in the consumer market. The CD claimed to have far better quality than records or cassettes and the claim is generally accepted as correct. (Some vinyl die hards maintained that CDs failed to capture some of the musical detail that a record would contain. It is certainly the case that a record would sound somewhat different to a CD) Studios had largely converted to digital by 1990 as well. The 24 track analogue recorder had been replaced by a more compact digital tape format. Computers had made an appearance by this time: Effects units had become software based, digital mixers were becoming popular and hard disks were seen as viable storage media as an alternative to tape. With the move to digital production, the signal chain from the mixer to CD was almost completely in the digital domain and analogue equipment was being removed from the studios. One of the great benefits of the move to digital was the reduction of noise in recordings. A record from 1980 would normally contain an amount of hiss generated by the tapes used in the recording. The digital production systems eliminated that noise and reduced distortion to levels that were too low to measure. The 80s also heralded digital music capture in the for of MIDI. MIDI was a consumer data format intended to drive keyboards. It was very quickly adopted by large scale production studios and transformed the electronic music world. The use of digital control of sound modules worked very well with digital audio capture. Together, they allowed new breeds to music styles to emerge. The development of digital music in the 80s paved the way for small and low cost studios. Most home based and project studios today are based loosely on the methods developed by the larger studios of the late 80s.

What is dolby stereo sound?
Dolby Labs started in the audio industry as a noise reduction specialist. This was during the era of tape based analog recording when one of the big issues was tape noise. The noise could be heard as a background hiss. Dolby's early products were noise reduction hardware that could be used during the recording and playback process to reduce the noise. It was used in virtually all domestic and professional tape machines as well as film soundtracks. Movies that used the technology normally credit Dolby with the double D logo and the "Dolby Stereo" text. The original noise reduction processes are almost obsolete with the advent of digital recording (no tape means no tape noise). Dolby have since moved into other forms of audio processing, surround sound in particular. Movies of today no longer carry the DOlby Stereo credit but Dolby Surround credits instead.
