Thanks Warren!
I did what you said successfully!
Now that I’m able to view the edit via BD there arise more questions:
1) What is the maximum bit rate permissible for BD playback? My test was the default 18. Some of the slow motion in my edit looked choppy. I understand that the cause is likely in the edit but I want to try other things before going back and adjusting in Final Cut.
2) Is my authoring software re-encoding despite my earlier step of exporting from FCP timeline via Compressor with BluRay settings(m2v)?
It took a long time to create that .iso file in DVD Architect.I think I have a lot of experimenting to do.

Check the gain switch. Sometimes that can be the grain culprit.
Changing the shutter speed to 1/24 has helped me get more light in. -
Great responses! Thanks guys!
David-
I have a native HDV project ready for BluRay authoring (waiting on Encore disc to come in mail). I have a new project ready for capture but delivery on SD DVD. Everything I work on for this company is shot on Canon XH-A1 in HDV mode. Typically I downconvert to DV in the deck during capture. Since I had an HDV project to play with I thought I’d experiment hoping to find a way to bump up the quality of an SD DVD project having the HDV source footage.I agree with everyone that ProRes rocks, as long as you have the drive space! I did a test before starting the HDV/BluRay project and one tape captured using regular quality ProRes took up five times as much drive space as HDV. It was an eleven tape job and I didn’t have the funds to buy a terabyte size drive so I opted to stay HDV all the way…. jobs have to get completed, right?
Would working in ProRes from capture to export make a better SD DVD?
As for BluRay is there any visual difference between HDV and ProRes once it’s compressed into a m2v file and on the BD?
Thanks! -
What do Encore dvd menus look like?
I’m used to DVDSP4 and my job wants to deliver HDV on BluRay by June.
Anyone else in the same boat?
