Different formats on a single BR Disc

Hi,
I looked in the search and SCS and guess I may have my answer, but as comments are pretty tech, here is a simple question : I have different videos with different formats (especially 1440*1080 stereo, 1920*1080 stereo and 1920*1080 D5.1) Some are MP4, others AVHCD... I am editing with SMP 12 and always editing with files format as files properties and I render using MAinconcept and personalize rendering formats to input properties if needed.
So if I put all these files in DVDA Pro6 in the same project to to burn a single BRD, will they all keep their properties or will the finest be re-compressed to the lowest (specifically all to 1440*1080 stereo?
Thank you
Regards,
Bruno

BD accepts both MPEG4 AVC (H.264) and MPEG2 but they should be in separate files. Also, the 1440 and 1920 can be present as well in different files. MP4 is a container, and doesn't say what codec is used. One of the idiosyncrasies of DVD Arch is that unless the audio and video are in separate files it will re-render the audio. BD will only accepts some audio coding formats as well, so DVDA will re-render those that don't.

Thanks PeterDuke,
If I understand well, I have no problem with mixing different formats both video and audio as long as :
One file is the same format from beginning to end.
My format is an accepted format by the BR standards

Am I correct,
Thanks

Bruno

I don't know how you could possibly have two different formats in the same file anyway, so this really shouldn't be an issue at all.
