Same question for audio.
Why would a company use mpeg2 versus avc/h264 versus vc1?
Are there different licensing concerns with the different codecs?
Is it easier to encode using high def mpeg2 than any of the other formats?
And for audio is dts-ma more expensive to produce for then dolby true hd? What about the costs for pcm-lossless?
Are they all pretty much the same when it comes down to it and its a personal preference for the studio in question? Or are various codecs more suitable for something like say high action flicks versus dramas and stuff?
Edit - also how common is dolby digital at 640kpbs on blurays? I saw it on my tmnt 1 bluray disc - it was the main audio track. ITs the pressed original and it shows as dolby digital but doesn't show up as truehd. Does truehd have to be in the 1+mb/s range to be truehd?
