   NBL didn't revert to flash because silverlight didn't work. Have you actually looked at their forums? The users were in a total uproar when they switched from silverlight to flash. Most reported a SIGNIFICANT drop in picture quality, frame rate drops, etc etc. If you want a picture perfect sales pitch for silverlight, go stick your head into their forums for a bit. I think it will open most people's eyes quite well.

   Yay for edit timing out. I did a quick check of over 750 bluray discs, of which approximately 36% were encoded with VC-1, and the remaining 64% as AVC (H.264). So it is no longer the default that it once was (The first few batches were almost exclusively either VC-1 or MPEG-2).
