Thanks again Dave!
I just wonder why Sony went out with the logo “AVCHD Progressive version 2.0”. Some say it will come on all new BD players and that there will be an update for most older BD players. I don´t know if this has any relevance for anything of what we talked about and what it entails?

Thank you Dave!
It is fairly much as I thought. One is just tempted to think that BD players going up all the way to 54Mbit/s would be easily converted to cope with 28Mbit/s in Mpeg 4.
One wonders how Sony thought when they implemented the “PS 28Mbit/s” mode for their whole range, since the BD standard does not comply with it. It looks good on the fact sheet I suppose and possibly a new BD standard is just round the corner?
Possibly you can work out a bespoke PC to render 1080 50p but most people seem to think PCs would struggle with this and PCs are not the right environment in this case. Any hard drive storage is of doubtful stability in a long term perspective. This is where BDs make sense along with being fairly cheap and versatile to use.
If you start with a more aggressive form of compression in 50p and then transform it into 50i (also going from Mpeg 4 to Mpeg 2) would it not seem better to shoot in FX mode (24Mbit/s) and burn it to a BD in Sony´s PMB which I think leaves it in Mpeg 4? Having said that, in support of the first method, 1080 50p burnt into 1080 50i each frame becomes a field which would perhaps make some sense?

According to Sony representatives the new BDP-S500 does support M2T files (without re-authoring) on BD R/RE which sounds good if it is true! It would more than likely also hold for the new BDP-2000ES, but Sony so far don
