That link is for creating 100% compliant Blu Ray structures. I'm not worried about that anymore. I found out that I can just burn a video file to Blu Ray as storage as if it were a HDD. I already tried it and it works on a Blu Ray player. That is why I was hoping for a way to get around having to pick a preset and then having to stay within the 480 resolution, max bitrate parameters for Blu Ray. So, with TAW5 there is no way of creating a Mpeg2 or Mpeg4 video for storing on a HDD, Blu Ray disc or for uploading to websites........great. I bought TAW5 because everyone kept telling me that I can't burn a AVI or even a Mpeg2 video to Blu Ray, that it would have to be encoded and authored for Blu Ray. Back on 4-26-2016 you stated: (BluRay players don't use AVI -- which, as your sentence states, is not a format but a container for other encoded formats. The structure and containers of BluRay are shown here: http://www.videohelp.com/hd#filestruct. DVD doesn;t use AVi, either: http://www.videohelp.com/dvd#struct. You won't see "AVI" or "DV" anywhere in BluRay or DVD.) Actually, this Blu Ray player http://watershade.net/wmcclain/BDP-1...external-media can play a AVI media container and this is an older one from 2012. I noticed in the chart on that link that there is a column labeled (Level). What exactly are they referring to? Is that the same as the (Profile and Level) listed in TAW5's Track Settings > Video? Although they're not giving an actual number it's either MP@ML or MP@HL. Quote:

There's not much point in giving more technical details or debate with someone who doesn't understand what authoring and encoding are.
I have BluRay players that can play DVD, standard BluRay, generic MPEG, Xvid AVI, h.264 mp4, m2ts and .ts files from cameras and HD PVR recorders, and encoded/authored AVCHD burned to DVD discs. For authored siscs it can play DVD, Bluray, and AVCHD. To get those formats I use an authoring program. It can play all those other formats I mentioned straight from USB hard drives or USB sticks. You need an authoring program for disc authoring. For anything else you need a general encoding app for non-authored formats. If you don't understand the authoring parameters in the tables linked, do yourself a favor and stay with an authoring app like TAW5 that enforces the format specs for you. If you'd done a little more looking you'd find that TMPGenc Video Mastering Works can make authored formats as well as the mp4's, generic MPEG's, and several other formats that don't require authoring for playback on BluRay players. Since you already own one TPMGenc product, you can get a discount on TVMW. Or get anyone else's NLE and read up on its input and output specs before buying. |

The raw footage is not too bad, it's a little noisy, but still crisp and clear, you can see the lights twinkle in the eyes and even see eyelashes. The problem that I'm having is that no matter what I use to encode it over to another format, I'm losing all the crispness/sharpness. I took one AVI-DV file copied from a tape and tried all 5 of the presets in TAW5. The higher bitrates seem to make a difference when it comes to playing back smoothly, but still lost all the sharpness. I had my heart set on mpeg2, but it's a waste if I'm limited to lower bitrates because of the whole Blu Ray compliant thing. I think that's ridiculous considering that most people don't even author Blu Ray discs these days. Now you can just burn a video file ( no matter the bitrate or type of file) onto a Blu Ray disc because most top end Blu Ray players can play almost anything that you throw at them. Blu Ray discs are basically just extra storage in case your HDD dies. Quote:
I want to be able to play all my video files on my TV, but be able to use all the playback features that I enjoy. The answer would be the getting the OPPO UDP-203 https://www.crutchfield.com/S-7V3Xmq...o-UDP-203.html, but this model seems to have some bugs that still need to get worked out thru firmware updates. I think I'm going to pick up a used/like new older model UDP-103, a lot of great features packed into this play all player. It can play AVI files, but not sure if it can play the AVI-DV files, if so that would be sweet. |

I'm going to try the AVIDEmux encoder and might go ahead and buy more TMPGEnc software just for encoding like you mentioned. Quote:

So you now think that every high bitrate or HD video that you burn to a BD disc is, uh, what's that techy word?....Oh, yeah....BluRay?
