 Mpeg4 is in the Blu Ray specs but they are using only mpeg2 until some
 issues can be worked out with the implementation of mpeg4.  Supposedly,
 a firmware update will be issued in the future that will address these
 issues, but I would be wary of the first batch of Blu Ray players.  The
 issues are not technical so much as they are about getting all the
 members of the Blu Ray consortium to agree on how they want to implement
 mpeg4.
