It seems odd that VCI are using the antiquated MPEG-2 codec for their release. BU use a more advanced codec on their release. Not saying MPEG-2 is particularly bad, but it's not as efficient with HD as the newer codecs. In fact, the releases I've seen encoded with MPEG-2 I've noticed it straight away as not looking quite HD and when I check the codec, sure enough, it's MPEG-2. That's just me, though. I'm just glad there's another BD out there with the correct ratio. Now if VCI could produce a new transfer in the correct ratio, this begs the question as to what happened with Arrow? I get the feeling Arrow have been less than truthful regarding this release...
