Care to guess what that is?

Yep, MPEG2.
If this is true I would be interested to know how Disney has managed to author AVC titles and Warner has managed to author VC-1 titles.

On another note though, it appears that Paramount is authoring excellent MPEG2 titles so really the codec should not be tied to image quality since it has been demonstrated that good results can be achieved with all three of the codecs.
