I am sorry for asking since I am sure this has come up before but so much noise when with search terms mpeg2 and blu ray..
So I have captured a couple hours (~5 hours) some old footage from analog 8mm video and VHS tapes. I used standard DV capture feature of my digital 8 camcorder and imported into Vegas 12 pro. (so the video is now in standard DV at 720x480x24 .avi format on my timeline)
I know I could never fit 5+ hours of standard DV video (mpeg2) on a DVD so I was rejoicing thinking my purchase of a new Blue Ray burner (with 25 gig discs) was going to be the solution… now I am worried.
My thoughts were that I just follow my old work flow when I use to make DVDs by
Step 1: render the timeline using the MainConcept ‘DVD Architect NTSC video stream’
Step 2: render the audio using Dolby Digital AC3
From there, I figured I just open Architect, but instead of selecting DVD, I select the Blu Ray project template, and from there, I just import the resulting mpg & ac3 files and link them with a menu.
Please tell me it’s that easy. You can use standard def mpeg2 files on Blu Ray right??
Sorry if my question is confusing.. it’s because I am so confused.. just can’t keep up.
Thanks in advance!
