Since Blu is unable to do PIP, it goes without saying that there are two encodes on the disc. Blu is just getting what it deserves with these botched releases.
Let's be fair - the PS3 and the new Panasonic player can now do PiP.
However, it is known that this particular release featured two copies of the same film, one with PiP, one without, as a workaround for the hundreds of thousands of Blu-ray players that can't support true PiP functionality.

Wrong again.
The interesting thing is that Warner found a way to do PiP without using Profile 1.1
I think this might've played a role in the lack of 1080p format.
