Default Blu-ray video codecs?
Why are Blu-ray movies released with different video codecs?

From what I can see it looks like the older movies are using MPEG-2 (Predator) and most of the newer movies are using MPEG-4 AVC (Aliens vs. Predator Requiem) but some of the newer movies are also using VC-1 (The Golden Compass)?

Is this a studio choice or is it based on the original cameras that were used?

On a similar note, is this the correct order for video codec quality?

Good = MPEG-2
Better = VC-1
Best = MPEG-4 AVC

Just curious.

Thanks,
Zak
