Blu-ray questions
I have a copy of an older video file that was make up of a about half 1280×720 mov file & the balance of much higher resolution jpeg’s. I would like to put this onto a Blu-ray disk. What template would you recommend? Normally I think its recommended that you don’t re sample upwards.
As for the template in general I notice they offer 10mbps or 16mbps. Does this mean that you can’t use any bit rate in between?
The Blu-rays disks I’m told are much less prone to scratching than a DVD because they have a thicker coating. But what about the data on them will it last or is it too soon to know?
Thanks in advance

You might have to make your own 720p template. I’m not sure if DVD Architect will then re-encode this. I never shoot 720p so I don’t know. All of my work is at 1080i. I would start with a template like Blu-ray 1920×1080-60i, 25 Mbps video stream and change the Frame size to HD 720 (1280×7820) and the Filed order to None (progressive scan).

You can change it to anything in between by editing the template. In Vegas Pro 12.0 the Blu-ray templates are 10Mbps and 25Mbps.

Since none of us have a Blu-ray disc older than a few years I’d say it’s too soon to know.
