If the encode is good, it should be in the stream headers.
I'm not sure i actually have a european Blu-ray to check this, sure i have european releases, but most are US movies .. i dont think they remaster the video, do they? :d

The Blu-ray spec at least says that you're supposed to use BT.709 primaries.
I think it would be quite moronic if they encode movies to look good on their professional super expensive displays, wouldn't they be smart enough to make it look good on a consumer HDTV? Thats what they are mastering it for, afterall.

BTW, i rather have some infos from a Tech then a CEO.
