What Codec for Blu-Ray?

[Douglas Spotted eagle]

why are you not exporting as AVCHD or MPEG 2 for Blu-ray? You’ll get a much better encode letting Vegas manage the encode vs using DVD Architect.

I’m probably just not clear on the strategy here. So the native blu-ray format is mpeg2/avchd? So then I can create my menu in DVDA and when I dump the video it will not need to recompress?

I’m I understanding that correctly?

[John Rofrano]

You are correct. There are several Blu-ray templates in Vegas Pro under both Sony AVC (for AVCHD) and MainConcept MPEG-2 (for HDV). Select the one that is closest you your source and render. DVD Architect will simply transfer this footage unaltered to Blu-ray. This is the cleanest workflow.

Why is it when I do this I still get warnings when burning the disc that the rendered video files have to be recompressed?

Are you rendering the audio and video separate? If not, maybe just the audio is being recompressed.
