Any commercially available BD-Video Title using VC-1 (SMPTE 421M) codec for video?

All Blu-ray Discs I have are coded using H.264 or MPEG 4 (AVC for 2D and MVC for 3D) video codec.

In the past a lot of titles were encoded in VC-1 (especially some studios like Warner or some local labels). Now they have almost all switched to AVC.

Hi!

A simple Googlesearch for "Blu-ray discs VC-1" or similar should provide you with listings of commercial Blu-ray discs that use VC-1...

Please mention a commercially available BD-Video title with entire feature length content stored in VC-1 format.

If a Google search would have yielded useful results, I would not have started this thread...

@nn007

See the examples posted by neuron2.

It would appear that you didn't perform a very thorough search...

Almost any Warner Bros title circa 2007-2010 (300, V for Vendetta, Matrix, Watchmen, etc).

www.blu-ray.com is a wonderful resource for finding stuff like this. :)

If I remember correctly, you may run into difficulty with some Blu-rays that are formatted as INTERLACED VC-1...

Those are probably ones that were originally HD DVDs and the studios just used the same encode/source for the Blu-ray.

But it's not anything that can't be easily corrected... And you can have interlaced AVC and MPEG2 just as easily.

(And he didn't say _why_ he wanted VC-1, so it may not present any difficulty at all... :p )
