A Blue-Ray disk is a storage medium and has nothing to do with mpg2/mpg4
etc. except for the following fact:
---
HDTV contains much more info (read data) and thus consumes much more disk
storage than regular TV/DVD. In order to support direct content
recording/playback, Blue-Ray supports 36Mbps data transfer rate to be able
to accomodate doing both at the same time.
---
That is a paraphrase from http://www.blu-ray.com/info
.... any video format can be used on a blu-ray disk, not just mpg2/mpg4
