Using the information I gleaned from:

http://irishjesus.wordpress.com/2010/10/17/blu-ray-movie-authoring-in-linux/

I've been able to convert my ATSC capture from MPEG2 to H264...

Use tsMuxeR (free, but not open source) to mux the video and audio

Use ImgBurn under wine to take the muxed output and creating an ISO for burning

Use cdrskin to burn the resulting image file.

Unfortunately it didn't work in my Panasonic blu-ray player... I don't yet know if it doesn't like burned discs or if I did something wrong.

On a side note cdrskin burned at 6X this time, not sure why...

Trying to load the folder in VLC I get a couple of error that popup but it otherwise works...

I'm assuming blu-ray video does not require defect management, correct?

Thanks,

Richard
