When is Blu-Ray going to start using the AVC codec. - Blu-ray Forum

I read something a while back from a sony site that they would start using the Avc codec eventually. I was just wondering when they were going to start using it. I've been hearing alot of bad things about MPEG2 codec with blu-ray.

Well, you get VC-1 in 5 days time...

AVC, nobody knows.

Fox just announced titles using AVC and apparently two of Disney's titles on Sept 19th are using AVC as well.

Oh noes!

STFU WITH TEH CODEC TALK YOU "CODEC NAZISS"!!!!!!!

^^ There.

I figured I'd get the fanboy outrage out of the way so we can continue on with a pleasant conversation now.

I can't even write that BS in jest without feeling like a complete idiot, and rightfully so. That's some of the dumbest crap I've seen anywhere in a while.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming...

Now. I have a question about codecs.
I tought AVC was not yet available in any of the current BluRay authoring software. Any idea what authoring system Disney and Fox are using to do it ?

Not authoritative by any means, but I'm reading a lot of talk that would indicate that they're either going to mostly use AVC or VC-1.

In other words: A lot of these studios are trying to get away from MPEG2 sooner rather than later.

Unlike most of the early Blu-ray releases from other studios, a number of Fox titles take full advantage of the format’s high-definition technology and Java-based interactivity, with AVC (MPEG-4 compression) and HD “Lossless” Audio.
