Hi there,
I'm having trouble figuring out the best workflow for producing a h264 or x264 blu ray disc.
The previously advised workflow is QT mov or QT ref from Avid> Sorenson Squeeze to create blu ray files> Avid DVD to author blu ray disc.
However, Avid DVD only supports MPEG-2 encoding for Blu Ray, and I've found the quality is not sufficient for my purposes. It's basically a really lossy crappy encoding that imo doesn't have enough advantage over DVD to be worth bothering with.
Sorenson offers to create x264 or h264 renders for Blu Ray as an alternative to MPEG-2 encoding, but I'm struggling to find a software which can take the resulting .264 video file and .ac3 audio file and actually create a playable blu ray from it. Everything I've tried so far (including Avid DVD) just re-encodes the files into MPEG-2.
What is the advised workflow for this? Ideally I need the ability to add a start menu as well before authoring.
