When I create files for burning to dvd I export files in mpeg-2 DVD compatible, so I can create a DVD-video using whatever application. If I export it as anything else than I need to use something like Convert XtoDVD and obviously producing transcodes in the process.

I'm assuming (and of course I may be wrong) that there is a specific format for burning blu-ray discs that would play in a standalone blu-ray machine.

Again, since I burn DVD-video I must export in Mpeg-2, but to avoid the need for transcoding in the future, I want to export in a blu-ray ready format.
