I came across this pic while browsing. Not sure if this is accurate or not but any help would be useful. I thought (in hind sight) that mpeg2 was the dominant codec.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the market share of VC1 if Paramount resumes and Universal starts releasing in Blu-ray.

Given this, why do you think the usage pattern changes should the disc format do that?

Use of VC-1 in no way has any relationship with HD DVD. We worked hard to enable its use in BD even before that format was launched. Given this, why do you think the usage pattern changes should the disc format do that?

I expect that studios will choose codecs as an independent decision from the disc format. Personally, I prefer the look of VC1. The "sharper" look that people attribute to AVC seems unnaturally so to me. We don't get to make the choice on this though.

MPEG2 can look fantastic at high enough bitrates (Kingdom of Heaven is a reference example) and there is some suggestion that it currently produces the most pleasing results for retaining the film grain structure.

I watched it to and I have to disagree with you. There are other titles that are far better. Ratatouille, Casino Royale, and a few others come to mind.

I suspect we'll see Warner begin to use AVC after May or so. Slowly at first, and then more and more frequently, though not completely.

Mostly for reasons similar to how audio codecs are chosen. I imagine they'll be offering (and accepting) some assistance to that end, if not a subsidy/offers from those who want to... peddle their wares, as it were.
