I used to covert to my one hour 13gb home videos mp2, and then author to DVD.
1)Instead of losing quality by mp2 compression, can I take a one hour AVI video, edit it in Adobe Premere, Leave it in AVI format, and author it to a Blu-ray disk?
2) If yes, will a authored AVI video play on a Blu-ray player?
Thank you.

avi video with what video and audio codec?
Most blu-ray players does not support any avi, some support avi divx/xvid. -
AVI is a container. It all depends what's in it. (And I'm also assuming "mp2" means MPEG-2, which is the video stream accepted by DvD).
Since your home videos are in AVI and 13GB/hr, then I'm assuming the video format is DV (not DivX or Xvid). Then the answer is no to both 1) and 2) - the blu-ray standard does not accept them just like the DvD standard didn't. You still have to convert them and lose some quality. But if you encode to a higher bitrate it won't be that much.
Even if they were DivX or Xvid, you'd still need a player with the correct certification.
I'm also assuming by the size that it's in SD, not HD. If that's the case just do what you did when you converted to DvD - they will still be authorable in the blu-ray spec since it also supports SD and what is supported on DvD. You don't need to trouble yourself with longer encode times, more storage and zero benefit to encode it to HD for blu-ray. Carry on like you were before and just use a blu-ray authoring application instead of a DvD one this time.
Also keep a copy of the source to keep your highest quality options open to many formats.I hate VHS. I always did. -
Saying "I have an AVI" is like saying "I drive a car" --- it says very little.

Excellent help.
1) Does TMPEC make blu-ray author program?
2) I have my orignal DV AVI videos on tape. Is it a good idea to puts these on a blu-ray data disk? -

And yes, you can burn the AVI files as data to an empty BD disc for storage (or an external hard drive). It won't play back on a BD player, but you'll have the source to encode from for that.I hate VHS. I always did. -
Not so much an inside joke as I'm too lazy to type T-M-P-G-E-N-C followed backspaces and re-editing posts because I can never seem to spell it right the first time.
Hence TDA and TAW !!!
