The AVC/H.264 Video codec is the same used for both BD and AVCHD production. If you are shooting in AVC/H.264 (which you will be), there is no good reason for you to then produce output in BD using MPEG2 for the video compression. The easiest way to do this is to just burn your BD project to your HDD then use IMGBURN to burn the structure to your blank DVD. File Structures / Formats (eg those used by BD and AVCHD)įor what it is worth I've happily burnt BD structures to DVD Media and it plays back just fine on the Majority of HW and SW players though as some will refuse to play them it is worth testing a sample.

I'm pretty sure that the DVD standard allows for a maximum of about 8mbps, but that's rarely used (most top quality DVDs are around 6mbps) and this is for standard definition resolutions and framerates or if I remember correctly).įor playback on a Blu-ray player, mpeg-2 is not the most efficient codec to use, nor is it the most supported for HD playback (it has been superceded by mp4/h.264).
Well, one problem is that although mpeg-2 can have very high bitrates (greater than 30mbps - HD territory), not all players will support this maximum.
