I happened to find the answer myself

One final thought: it feels a bit odd that the preferred way to film with a modern camcorder (for this particular case) is based on a method (interlaced) that is actually obsolete and no longer used in modern playback (tv’s, computer screens,…). If the interlaced mode can be considered as such an intelligent/efficient compression mode, why was it abandoned and is it no longer an option, while it nevertheless remains one of the options in state-of-the-art camcorders. Any comments about that?

OK. That is clear. Thanks a lot.

So, if I understand correctly: for, let’s say holiday movies, landscapes,…, 25fps is to be preferred over 50fps (because of more or less equal quality, but lower bandwith) and 25fps means 50i rather than 25p. Is that a correct conclusion?

Very informative. Thank you

The older camcorder was 1080 50i (17Mbps). The new option is 1080 50p (28 Mbps – VBR). So, when I am shooting AVCHD 1080 50p you recommend making my final renders also AVCHD 1080 50p. Only, I don’t see that option in Vegas, only AVCHD 50i. Also the templates for the Blu-ray also only show 50i. So, what do I use.
About your second remark. 50i and 25p are both 25fps, the 50i being interlaced, so I would guess 25p is better than 50i (as you capture all the information on 1 frame at 25p and in 50i it comes from odd and even lines). Is that right? But, as my camcorder only has 50i and 50p (no 25p), I should choose 50p anyway for best results?
Then, the camcorder can record AVCHD 1080/50p (28Mbps / VBR), (1920 x 1080/50p) and also MP4 1080p/50p(28M) (28Mbps / VBR), (1920 x 1080), which are comparable in bitrate and fps. Why should I choose one or the other? Furthermore, the MP4 can go up to 50Mbps, in contrast to the AVCHD. Is the bitrate for AVCHD limited and should I thus go for MP4 if I really want the best quality (at the expense of storage capacity, of course)? Which template to use then?
Finally, there is also a 24p option. What is that for?

Yes, I get the same output sound through WMP. The strange thing is that sometimes the sound is distorted, sometimes it is OK. The same happens in Vegas and WMP.

Ah, yes. I was not aware of that. Can that give a hint to a solution?

It seems that by double-clicking an iso file in windows 8 the file is mounted as a virtual drive, so the individual contents (all files) can be accessed. I guess that solves my problem.

If I understand well, the BDMW format and iso format are both blu-ray formats with the iso file having all information in 1 single file. Can anyone give me some more information on why there are these 2 formats (when would I prefer iso and when BDMW) and why Vegas(in my case) now suddenly delivers the BDMW format? If other people get 1 single iso file, I guess there most be an option to choose this?
Thanks,
Dirk
