I'm not sure what ST means? maybe sincere thanks??
Early Blu Ray discs (like Mission Impossible 2) used MPEG 2 to deliver a great picture. If you throw enough bandwidth at it, MPEG 2 can do a job.

Given the great analogue switch-off (which will free up loads of bandwidth anyway), I don't think VM are in that much of a rush to use MPEG 2.
