okay.

First points: He says you can use VC-1 for better encoding for the 360. FALSE. you can not. This is available for HD-DVD only, which is a dead format.

It's the default codec for HD 360 videos on the XBLMarket place. It's also one of the base codecs used in Blu-rays.

He doesn't mention anywhere about the self shadowing. the 360 versions shadows just randomly stop working.

Probably because the shadows are still there, they're just not as dark.

1, blu ray also have java backend, VC-1 was accepted later, but both formats are supported.

2, shadows aren't all there, some are indeed missing, and isn't only shadows, certain foliage in terrain were removed.

what's retarded is that they could have just used WMVs.
