Same thing have been around for some time now here in Denmark. The Denmarks Radio (DR) (they also do television) is the danish equivalent of the BBC and they opted for a Microsoft-only solution some years back. Recently they have been forced by the politicians to adopt a more open standard and they choose the H.264 format. Its playable on all platforms and they get better overall quality per bit. I really hope that the BBC comes to its senses.

Although it's a couple of years old it's still very valid.

I think ISO9660 and NTFS aren't listed because they are readonly.
