Yes I wrote it [with information from articles around the net.] This is why I posted it though, so people could correct me. While writing it, I tried to search for what Blu Ray movies were currently encoding at, and I couldn't find anything but how the MPEG-2 CODEC was in great use in BD discs. But just tell me what BD currently uses and I'll change it. I'm assuming it's MPEG-4 since HD DVD mainly uses VC-1. But I have found that Crank [released in Jan 2007] was encoded in MPEG-2 so it isn't as outdated as you are saying it is.
