What format are Apple and Amazon using for their new movies services?

Apple: H.264 MPEG-4 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264>
"near DVD-quality, 640-by-480-pixel video" "Exact resolution depends on
aspect ratio"
<http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/movies.html>

Amazon: VC-1 WMV <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VC1>
"DVD-quality"
<http://www.amazon.com/b/?&node=16261631>

640x480 is DVD quality? 640x480 looks bad on anything bigger than a 14 inch
display.
