Blu-ray Audio Options

From Wiki.... "For audio, BD-ROM players are required to support Dolby Digital (AC-3), DTS, and linear PCM. Players may optionally support Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio as well as lossless formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio"

DVDAS only offers PCM.

Am i correct in guessing that the ability to create Blue-ray using anything other than PCM is reserved fro the Pro version of DVDA?

Thanks TOG62

Hmmm ... I'm now really tempted to go for the current 50% upgrade offer on Vegas Pro 10 (Which I think includes DVDA Pro)

If I were to do this then I presume I could take the MTS Files (AVC Video + AC-3 Audio) straight from my camera, into DVDA Pro, create some menus and burn to Blu-ray without any recompression or alteration, creating effectively a playable backup very quickly

No, if you bring muxed video/audio files into DVD Architect, it will recompress.

You must bring separate compliant streams into DVD Architect in order to prepare without rendering. Demuxing your MTS first "may" work, but I've never tried it. Vegas will not smart render AVCHD.
