Recently got myself a Blu Ray burner and some media.
Raw footage was recorded in a mixture of 1080i, 1080p, 960p.
I have edited my footage in VMS 10 and done "Make movie > Burn it to a DVD or Blu Ray". I then waited for 4 and a half hours for the render (hour long movie). The resultant file is a 1920x1080 m2v file (+ audio file obviously).
Sent the files to DVDA 5.
Sorted out some menus etc at 1920x1080.
Prepared my disc and burnt it to a Blu Ray.
On playing my player says it is 576p i.e. HD DVD res!!!
I checked the project properties and they were by default set to MPEG-2 1920x1080. I changed this to AVC, upped the bit rate to max and re-prepared and burned another disc. This time the menus were 1080i but the movie is still 576p.
What am I doing wrong? Can anyone talk me through the correct settings/process to create a 1080i (or p) Blu Ray disc with menus from my original HD footage??
I've wasted 3 discs so far and they ain't cheap!
I suspect my problem is with the original render in VMS10 but am not sure?
