My learned companion - Sony used this disc for compatibility testing of the BR format not AVC performance. Why wait for a long albeit higher quality AVC encode when that's not what they were trying to confirm?
BTW My dual 867 G4 has problems with some 24p 720 H.264 content, I'd like to know the specs of your machine.
I couldn't find a crop tool either. As such, Lightroom was removed from my hard drive.
You refer to MPEG-4 pt 2 which cannot be compared to MPEG-2 as it was aimed at web and 3GP delivery, not broadcast resolution

Not as yet ratified by the SMPTE.
I guess they encoded to MPEG-2 over H.264 because not only is it much easier and quicker to encode but also to decode.
