Okay, did alot more testing.

Using Sony Vegas 9a, I converted my .mts clips into an MPG2 using the Mainstream codec, setting the chapter stops there. This spit out a .m2v which I put into DVDA and made an AVCHD blu-ray disc. This worked as expected although the video quality isn’t quite as sharp (obviously).

I tried converting to an AVCHD format but I constantly get low memory during the render and it aborts out.

It seems like the music/video compilation of DVDA 5.0b may be broken for blu-ray if I use AVCHD content in an AVCHD disc. (Broken meaning you can’t use next/prev buttons on the remote to navigate through the compilation. Previous always goes to the first video in the compilation and next never works.

Thanks. I originally authored this by putting the video files directly into DVDA without going through Vegas.

I’m attempting, now, to set them up as one title with chapter markers in Vegas but am having trouble with the render (low memory, on a 3gb machine with just under 2gb free in System memory..ahh… bleeding edge of technology…)

I’d like to keep my AVCHD files (1920×1080 60i) near the same without having to transcode (or at least lose as little as possible during the transcode) and have been rendering to an AVCHD template with mpeg2 (m2ts) The one time I got it to render, the chapter markers came through but their timings were off. (I had also forgotten to set the “include audio” tag so back to the render again).

What’s a good interim format to go into DVDA for a blu-ray like that? (I also tried AVI per another, unrelated, suggestion on this forum and that turned into a 600gb+ file that was too big for my HD!)

Thanks again for the help!

Let me amend that I’m seeing the same problem on a Panasonic BD35 blu-ray player. This is also a TRIAL edition (but I don’t think that should matter)
