Re: Blu-Ray on normal DVDs

Thank you for Juan your reply. Do you know if the quality is as good as that of a blu-ray disc made with a dedicated burner. I normally only make DVDs using iDVD. I output a disc image which I use in conjunction with toast to burn the disc. Can I do the same with burning an AVCHD disc or do I have to output a blu-ray file first using something like compressor. Is there a recognized standard working practice that is best.
Finally how short should the content be to work fine. I read somewhere that a standard disc could hold up to 1hour but 40 minutes was the recommended max. after which quality would suffer.
Finally one last question - when I make a normal DVD from 50i footage I never deinterlace and on a normal television there are no jaggies. However, never having made a disc to be played on a blu-ray player to be shown on a high def television set I don't know how it will look if I do not deinterlace. Will I see jaggies if i do not deinterlace or will it be smoothed out in the same way that a normal TV does.
I would do some tests myself if I had a blue ray player and high def TV but sadly I do not.
Many Thanks BRIAN
