Settings for DVD & Bluray w/ 1080/60p footage

I shot stage production using Panasonic TM700K set at 1080/60p. I imported the footage into Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10 and added a simple rolling credit. It looks very good in Vegas but I've tried for days getting a decent looking DVD & Blu Ray burn. No matter what settings I've tried, the footage looks blurry & is not wide screen despite choosing widescreen settings along the way. This is my first attempt with the software & 1080/60p footage so I'm clueless. I'm unable to find a clear step by step for the best way to create a BluRay & DVD when starting with 1080/60p footage imported into Vegas. Any tips or references to websites would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick

P.S. I even tried using the camera conversion (w/ HD Writer software) to create .mpg files for the standard DVD version but still poor quality & loses widescreen when the final DVD is rendered.

Similar problem
When I render a movie the mpg1 playback on my computer looks good.
If I create a 186gb avi file, the playback is absolutely awesum.
Using DVD Architect Studio 5 or Windows Movie maker creates a DVD that is washed out and blurry.

I have tried many times, sometimes I get a barely presentable DVD
