I was just wondering why would a studio, like Warner Brothers for instance, want to create a movie in 2 different codecs? It seems to me that once the film was created /converted in a codec whether it be VC-1 or Mpeg-2 that it would not make sense for them to convert that film again in a different codec? They would have to pay royalties to one of the codecs being used why pay both? Both players seem to support all the codecs? I guess I'm missing something here? Thanks.
