Yes I agree.
WMP 9/10(MPEG 3) are up for DVDHD certification as the file format for the next gen DVD players. The other format is Blueray( MPEG 4) backed by Sony and the other computer hardware manufacturers.

Half of the DVD governing body wants WMP 9(MPEG 3) format and the other wants MPEG 4 video and audio. This has caused the MPEG 4 backers to break from the DVD governing body and to form the Blueray group a independent governing group. Now the IEEE guys are trying to mend the breakup and now the Blueray group is considering supporting WMP 9 and MPEG 4 as file formats.

So WMP 9( MPEG 3) is a natural test bed for IP TV but they should be looking at MPEG 4 also.

MPEG 4 is 30% more coding power the MPEG 3.
This link will explain the difference between MPEG 4 and 3:

HD-DVD and Blu-Ray can support anything because the arrangements of the bits are irrelevant to the disc's physical format.
HD-DVD uses 35GB and requires very little retooling work to be done in manufacturing to get the drives out.
Blu-Ray uses 25GB on a single layer disc and 50GB on a dual layer disc and requires some changes to existing factories so they can manufacture the drives. It supposed to be initially more expensive to manufacture than HD-DVD.
