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.
