Authoring a mixed-media/resolution Blu-ray?

[jbigfoot]

I have two video productions and some .jpg files I'd like to combine onto a Blu-ray disc that can be played in a typical home player rather than simply making it a data disc. I'd like to have a title/chapter board so the viewer can jump to wherever they want.

The videos are edits on Sony Vegas Pro 8.0. One's in 720 HD and the other is 640 X 480 SD, to further complicate matters.

MultiAVCHD can do this. You can burn the results to either Bluray or DVD Media, although it won't be playable on a standard DVD player. The 640 x 480 material will have to be resized/re-encoded to 720 x 480, as it is not within DVD or BD specs at 640 x 480

If you have Vegas Pro 8 what about DVDA that's bundled with it? -- they haven't updated DVDA for a while so I *Think* the version with 8 can do BD. BUT there's a catch... To get DVDA 5 to output both HD & SD in the same project you have to re-render the SD video 1st in a letter/pillar boxed HD frame. Otherwise things go terribly wrong & the SD behaves horribly on a BD5/9/25.

There is a Blu-ray option for burning, but it's the mixed media that'll trip me up. The options in this version are very limited as far as resolution, etc.

Thanks! I'll check it out.
