New Line released Shoot 'Em Up and the encode numbers speak for themselves. If I had to guess, I'd say that Microsoft is behind the low bitrate crap. They tweaked and tweaked VC-1 until they got the bitrate to a bare minimum (due to less bandwidth and less storage capacity than Blu-ray) so that Warner Bros would continue using VC-1 and stay with HD DVD releases. Warner Bros needs to drop the Microsoft assistance with their encodes or switch to AVC.
