I'm making Blu-Ray content on the Mac via compressor and I will be using DVD Architect to build my BD menu and out put the BD files.
What m2 files does Sony DVD Architect need to bulid a Blu-Ray.
Elementary,Stream or Program. Or can I even do this via Compressor for DVD Architect.

Thanks

I'm trying the exact same thing and having the same problem. I found DVDA does not support m2v files. I'm trying other Compressor settings as I type.

DVDA recognized a Program Stream MPEG-2 with a .mpeg extension using Compressor. At the default settings in Compressor, the burned BD-RE quality was not that good. I'm trying it again at a higher bit rate and better quality but the rendering is extremely long. I let you know how that turns out.

I tried a clip that started as .avi from my Nikon D3S. I converted it to Apple ProRes 422 HQ and used DVDA to burned a BD-RE. The results were perfect. I tried the same settings on the entire movie exported from FCP and Compressor then to DVDA, it would not recognize it. I have no idea why.
