What will play avc file rendered by Vegas

[Anonymous]

I created an avc file with vegas pro 12 rendered as Blu-ray 1920 x 1080 24p 25Mbps video stream. VLC will not play it and there is no right click media info. I have media info and it shows info for other files. Is there another free no adware/spyware/toolbar player that will play this file

Add it in mkvtoolnixgui and make a mkv.

Add it in mkvtoolnixgui and make a mkv.

will it still be BR and will it be lossy to do that?

A blu-ray is not just an avc file. It should be a folder with m2ts files, https://www.videohelp.com/hd#filestruct

Your Blu-ray may not be quite correct in its structure. You can try Media Player Classic Home Cinema to play it, but if VLC won't, then MPC-HC might not either.

Does it have menus? Neither VLC nor MPC-HC will play Blu-ray menus properly. Leawo Player is one option for a free player with at least some support for menus in Blu-ray.

If there are no menus to worry about, I'd follow Baldrick's advice and make an MKV from it and see if one of the free players will work with the MKV. If you absolutely have to have Blu-ray format, you could then take the newly made MKV file and put it into Blu-ray format using tsMuxeR. You won't have any visual quality loss with these format changes, since you won't be re-encoding anything.

While exporting in Vegas (Sony avc) , check appropriate box under "System" TAB, it still can be encoded as "Blu-Ray" stream, but in MP4 container. If you check mp4 container or mpeg2 transport stream, then you can check audio under "audio" TAB, it will not be greyed out after that.

If you export MainConcept avc, then check audio stream under "audio" TAB.

Maybe you just want to generate MP4 but with Blu-Ray settings for video, so you can follow that above.
Raw "avc" stream is good to make, if you author BDMV, you get raw video and audio and you author BDMV structure in Blu-Ray authoring software.
