The quality of those disks were very high. mxf files, Vegas will smart render these very quickly, thus a blu-ray authored disk would go through only one re-encode, from mxf to AVC, by DVDA5. Although it is slow, and not too many adjustable parameters, there is one parameter that it does give you control over, the bit rate! It lets you choose whatever rate you want! I eventually settled for 18mbps, which meant AVCHD disks could play from regular DVD media in quite a few standalone blu-ray players.

I also found through trial and error, that the DVDA5 AVC video rendering although painfully slow and with not too many parameters to choose from, actually rendered with incredible quality, better than the encoders in Vegas, either the Mainconcept or Sony AVC. It would thereafter smart render it without re-encoding.

Then when the movie file with audio was imported into DVDA5, I would point the selection of the audio track over to the separate audio file. It's been a while since I used DVDA5, but as I recall, I was able to have it not re-encode the 5.1 audio by rendering out the audio in Vegas separately. The audio does want to recompress for some reason. But you cannot burn a high bitrate AVCHD BluRay from Vegas or from any other home burning application that I know of. Either will work just fine in DVD Architect, and you won't have to recompress. Or, you can use the Mainconcept Mpeg2 encoder and choose one of the BluRay templates. So, instead of using Mainconcept's encoder, choose the Sony AVC encoder, and choose one of the bre-built templates. It has to be in a specific format, just like Mpeg2 files being prepped for DVD burning. You cannot just use any old AVCHD file to burn to BluRay. Well I've got an AC-3 audio file, so what the hell? Same thing, DVD Architect wants to recompress the audio, and to avoid recompression I need to 'use a compliant PCM wave or an AC-3 audio file'. I rendered the audio file from Vegas as an AC3 Studio file.

I've set the project to AVC, and the recompression settings also say AVC, so what's that all about? If I go to Optimize Disc, it says in order to avoid recompression I need to 'use a compliant MPEG-2 video file'. The video was rendered with Main Concept AVC, Max Bitrate 38 MBit, Avg Bitrate 32 MBit. I rendered out a short test video and audio file (both have identical file names).

I'm trying to put together a Blu-ray with DVD Architect 5.
