Sure HandBrake can encode with x264's blu-ray specs, and sure you can simply remux the MP4/MKV into a M2TS or a BDMV\STREAM authored structure, or whatnot, and sure it can play.
And even if you don't get all the blu-ray particulars in, even if you get the PAR slightly wrong, or even the rez wrong, it can STILL play. And blu-ray players over the years have gotten more forgiving, especially when many today can play DivX, Xvid, MP4, MKV, AVCHD, and other non-blu-ray formats as an option.
I know you're not lying when you say HandBrake's output plays fine on your player. I'm not surprised.
But that does not mean it's 100% true-to-the-spec blu-ray compatible, and it does not mean just because it plays on your player it will play in all of them.
Since HandBrake doesn't output raw streams, only MP4/MKV, then you broke blu-ray compatibility. Muxing/demuxing a video stream through MP4/MKV will delete vital data such as IDK, delimiters, HRD, SPS, etc, necessary for 100% blu-ray compatibility, particularly any calculations/data pertinent at the container level.
Yes, your content plays on blu-ray fine, and works beautifully for you, and it may play on most units, but in theory, sorry my friend, it's not 100% blu-ray compatible.
But, if it works for you, then fine, go ahead. Who am I to question something that works for you?![]()

What you said doesn't make sense,if it's 1280x720 or 1920x1080 encoded with 5 r frames and less with a 4.1 profile or less with the proper vbuffs and such it's not blu-ray compliant?Sounds like you are just trying to justify your statement.
I think,therefore i am a hamster. -
Not at all.
Blu-ray compatibility is not just at the stream level, but also at the container level - how you mux is also important.
In short, what I'm saying is that once you put a blu-ray compliant stream into an MP4/MKV you break compatibility because you delete certain metadata vital to blu-ray compliance. MP4/MKV muxers do not manipulate such packets.
Blu-ray compatible streams need to be encoded a certain way. Yes. But they need to be muxed a certain way too to not delete such info.
Of course, this does not mean it will not work otherwise. I will bet it will 9/10 times. But I'm talking strictly theoretically here - it may be 90%, but it will not be 100% blu-ray compatible.
And I don't need to justify my statement when Sonic Scenarist, an industry standard in professional blu-ray authoring, will confirm this by rejecting such streams.I hate VHS. I always did. -
