Re: Yep! said by dadkins:Playback of some BD movies hits 40mbps. Any compression is going to trash picture quality and or cause artifacting. Here's a thought... if you read that thread where they cracked BluRay, there's something interesting there. A person asks "what compression is used" about a few titles, others answer "MPEG-2". Others note that MPEG-4 is also an option for BluRay, but there doesn't seem to be any actual discs out there using MPEG-4.
Hmmm. MPEG-2 is a little long in the tooth, but it does mean that you *need* more space to rip to, a more expensive blank to burn to, and of course, more bandwidth to upload/download any rips if you're not recompressing it.
Question: Are they choosing MPEG-2 on purpose to make it harder for the pirates and/or fair-use people to deal with their content? |

1 edit | Good points! Thanks!
Either way, the files are/will be huge!
I haven't seen any MPEG-4 discs yet, but I'll ask over at the Blu-ray forums. 
EDIT: Seems there are some rumors/speculation of VC-1 being tested. for use on BD.
Not alot of talk on MPEG-4 or x264.
