But they don't have to encode it if it's uncompressed

Plus, it will remove the graininess (it's actually a word haha) from movies that they would encode poorly. I've seen lots of compression artifacts in some of these HD movies b/c they're lazy and don't want to do it right (and it's not the graininess from the film type either).
