Here follows a comparison between the France WMV-HD DVD-Rom by TF1 video and the most recent Japanese Blu-ray edition by SONY AVC encoded:
I'm pretty sure they come from the same master:
WMV-HD
BD
In the following couple rocks on street and Amelie's clothes are useful to point differences out:
WMV-HD
BD

The following set is the best one to show compression artifacts; even if having a lower resolution could help WMV-HD encoder the compression rate of WMV-HD edition is too high, macroblocks appear in the difficult fish scene with moving water, while BD is perfect
(don't forget it's a Japanese edition and Japanese editions are done with the best care!!!) A Canadian BD edition of Amelie does exist but it's 1080i only
WMV-HD
BD
It also seems Japanese edition has an higher detail and sharpness , maybe it takes advantage of the higher resolution? If you look at the top left Amelie's shoulder in the frame where she's taking a photo, you'll see the wool on her clothes is sharper in BD than in WMV-HD
