A DVI RTP packetization becomes more interesting if it includes
lossless compression options, using algorithms whose encoding
and decoding are doable for ASICs or FPGAs -- there's an analogy
here with VoIP, the DVI over its native "transport" is a circuit,
but over RTP its packet-switched, and there should be a way to
leverage this to reduce the watts devoted to moving the bits 
around ...
