OK - so, after a long time busy with downconverting my EX1 HD to an SD DVD, back to HD and BD :)
I'd like to omit detailed description of my doubts on purpose for now (so that I don't suggest anything to a person who is kind enough and answer this question), just please tell me:
- in order for DVDA 5 to avoid re-compression, which are the maximum quality settings of the m2v files you render out from Vegas for DVDA to use when authoring BD? I mean:
1. do files, rendered basing on the Vegas default template "BluRay 1920x1080-50i, 25 Mbps" work for you, or do you need to modify them and change the maximum bitrate from 30Mbps to - say - 28Mbps?
2. Can you somehow avoid recompression in Vegas set to 50i, when a progressive media is inserted into the project?
Both question are of paramount importance for getting the best possible BD-delivery results from the EX HQ sources, as their bitrate is high (35Mbps) and they're best when shot in progressive mode...
Also, the absolute maximum bitrate that DVDA can put on a BD without recompression, is going to be even more important with the advent of recorders such as the Flash XDR / NanoFlash, capable of 50 or 100 Mbps !
Comments welcome,
