A big benefit seen thus far with VC-1 is that nearly all such releases went through Microsoft and Microsoft's VC-1 compression team is spending a lot of time and effort making sure the compressed release is indistinguishable from the master. A second plus of this is that the Microsoft team is quite vocal and willing to talk about their work over on the AVSForum, which makes the releases much more personal and gives one more confidence that the release is as good as it can get. Sure, MPEG-2 on a 50 GB disk can be just as good as VC-1; but there's no guarantee that whoever the studio is using to do the compression (in-house or otherwise) is actually spending the time to make sure it is.
