Burn H.264 to work on Bluray?

[Cabal2000]

Is there a way to burn H.264 encoded file to a DVD that will work on a Blu Ray player.
I have just purchased a Sony BDP-S350

AVCHD is specifically created for that purpose, and your player will play AVCHD. http://www.emedialive.com/articles/readarticle.aspx?articleid=11425#ixp is a list of most of the Blu-ray related authoring software, and some programs like VideoStudio create AVCHD disks. Some of the commercial programs can't create AVCHD but they might instead create BDMV, and you can convert from BDMV with AVCHD-Patcher. If you don't need menus, many people use tsMuxer here for creating AVCHD compatible disks.

Jeez people need to start reading before posting, the first 5 to 10 threads in this part of the forum explain this question.

I never noticed it until I posted here, but about half the comments I've read recently are snarky things that don't help anyone. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=815296&page=59 is rather incredible for how poorly organized it is, but at least it lacks the attitude. Anyway for what it's worth, I'm not aware of anything here or there that would succinctly sum up AVCHD authoring without having to do a lot more reading than really necessary. Certainly a newbie's guide to Blu-ray authoring would be helpful, but it would also be a certain amount of work so I can understand why I've never ran across a thorough guide.

tsMuxer is a very nice tool, but one thing that it doesn't do is to make sure that your audio and video is compliant. http://www.avchd-info.org/format/index.html is the list of what AVCHD officially supports, but depending on where your video comes from it might not be compliant. On the other hand commercial software will check for compliance, but most reasonably priced software has one quirk or another. For the first time creating a disk I would generally suggest to either check out the VideoStudio trial or tsMuxer. http://www.digital-digest.com/articles/PS3_H.264_Conversion_Guide_page1.html when it came out was probably the best guide at the time for using tsMuxer to create AVCHD, but it's quite possible there are better guides today.

There are guides here too. Maybe it's time to make it sticky?
