Well, let's wipe away such foolishness with some data-crunching
evidence, then, shan't we?: :)
Given that VC-1 is the said codec used for HD-DVD releases, and Blu-ray
champions MPEG-4 AVC, we at least have references to check which title
uses which--
So, as we can see from a sampling of titles from the dedicated-Blu
trilogy of Disney, Fox, and Sony, the listed "Video Codecs" for mastering:
Disney:

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=507
Fox:
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=560
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=601
Sony:
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=546
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=349
And the video codecs for Warner?--Ha! No difference at all:
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=545
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=571
http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=375
(Ho, ho, that's rich! "Warner using one crappy HD codec because they're
too cheap-bastard to master two separate releases, and singlehandedly
representing the biggest setback about keeping a dual-format war
going"...As if! Yuk yuk! What a maroon!) ;)
