Interesting Discoveries re Burning Blu-ray

[George Tyndall]

When burning a Blu-ray disc with DVD AS5.0, there is only one choice for the audio: PCM.

Here are a couple of interesting discoveries:

1) outputting the PRE7 HD timeline as PCM audio instead of Dolby Digital (AC-3) does not avoid recompression by DVD AS5.0 to PCM

2) outputting the PRE7 timeiine as AC-3 audio for recompression by DVD AS5.0 to PCM results in vastly improved playback of the Blu-ray disc

As that second discovery is counterintuitive, I repeated the test with multiple Verbatim SD discs to confirm the result, specifically, flawed playback of the audio portion of the creation when ouput from PRE7 with the choice PCM audio.

Interesting note, George. But I guess you can't argue with success!

You need DVDA Pro for Blu-ray with Dolby.

You need DVDA Pro for Blu-ray with Dolby.

Which requires the purchase of Vegas Pro 10 because it's not available separately?

Correct. You have to buy both, then separate them when you get home.

I honestly thought that if you had Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10, that Dolby would be available in DVDAS. But I think I have it backward, and it applies only to DVD.
