This is a weird question. Why does MPEG H.264 treat the color red the way it does? I noticed this in U2's beautiful day video, it's even more pronounced in the Kim Possible episodes. The red shows heavy pixilation more than other colors.

Pure red seems to be the bête-noire of most codecs out there actually, not just H264. I've seen the typical pixelation on almost any codec of recent vintage when it comes to highly saturated reds. The only way around it is to bump up the bandwidth for that section, but even still... MPEG-2, MPEG-1, H264, Sorenson, etc. all have issues.
