Default ZDNet BS

http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=511

What starts as a good article about how HD movie downloads are not practical devolves into giving out BS on Blu-ray:

Quote:
BlueRay players for some reason decided to forego the more advanced video codecs like H.264 or VC-1 and they’re using the old MPEG-2 encoding scheme which neutralized the capacity advantage of BlueRay media.
POTC 1 and 2 weren't encoded w/ MPEG-2, and they're the new reference titles!

I don't have a ZDNet account. If someone does, please correct this idiocy.
