old players

"But think about it - choosing a predetermined set of codecs as "standard" will ALWAYS have a downside. ?"a lot of DVD players, especially older models, will never have support for anything more than the basic MPEG-2 codec. For that reason it's impossible to adopt WMV9 or VC-1 or MPEG-4 as a new DVD standard for releasing movies by the movie publishers - they just can't abandon such a large portion of the customers with incompatible players.
I don't think so people will always want state of the art technology therefore its not stupid to abandon old players
