m2v & m4v on same blu-ray
will I have issues down the road if my blu-ray contains mostly m4v and for 3 shorts (3x2min) m2v? So far as blu-ray players compatibility and replication issues and other problems?
Both compressor (h.264) and ame (m4v) regardless of bit rate are giving me problems, yet when I encode m2v, it seems to be fine, only on these three shorts.
Thanks

Unless you are encoding using a high-end spec-compliant hardware encoder such as the Sony or Sonic Blu-ray encoders, forget about using MPEG-2 for Blu-ray. The h.264 for Blu-ray preset in Apple Compressor 3 or 4 is Blu-ray spec-compliant, and you will be able to replicate using these encodes.
Note that Encore will NOT produce a usable BDCMF for replication unless you run your project through Blu Streak Premaster.

Great! Thank you Bill.
BTW, how much space should I allow for the BDCMF process in case I do need to go to replication, without re-authoring?
I can not do BDCMF myself, I will have to find someone to do it for me (eventually).
Right now I have about 800mb of free space on a single layer BD-R.Thanks,

Our company does not do the premastering process for replicating from Encore, so I cannot give you an authoritative answer. But the size of the assets should not increase because of Blu Streak Premaster.
