Tom,
Believe it. You can see this phenomenon all the time on any of the Standard
Definition digitally delivered programming services such as DirecTV, Dish
Network, or digital cable where they squeeze the programming into 1 Mbps or
less. Heads are constantly surrounded by (and this is a semi-official
description of the effect) clouds of bees that simply aren't there in
uncompressed digital video. For a repeatable and reliable demonstration of
this effect, look at the ticker crawl at the bottom of the screen on MSNBC
on DirecTV.
As for the Blu-Ray DVD, I don't know if 1080p24 is a display resolution in
WM9 or AVC. I do know that it does not exist in the infamous ATSC Table 3
of formats. That table tops out at 1080i30
