I actually was refering to the overall effort being show by Universal myself. I agree 100% that the three codecs, with sufficient bits, should be able to create near equivalent results.

As you say, Deja Vu is amazing. One of the best VC-1 releases yet, and that was by a studio inexperienced in the codec.

At this critical point for HD DVD, I was expecting Universal/MS to really pull out all the stops. Quantity with mediocre quality isn't going to help things, is it?
