Does it need editing? Do you need any chapter points or a menu?

Marcus,

I've found that both Vegas and DVDA rendering facilities will produce compliant Blu-Rays from H264 files, especially if they are 'single movie' types (i.e. no menu).
A much more relevant question is can your target player handle the discs. I crreate discs for a PS3 and a Sony BDP-S480 which handles the discs fine. If the editied video file is less than 4.3GB, I can even put it on a DVD disc, (nicknamed a 'BD5' disc) and the Sony will play it fine. The PS3 will play a DVD formatted as a data disc with an AVCHD file on it, i.e. not authored, just burnt from Windows.
So in terms of workflow, I would just put the clips on the timeline and do the edit as required. Then, instead of rendering the timeline, go to tools/burn disc/blu-ray disc and follow instructions. You then have a choice of MPEG-2 or AVC/MP4.
Always works for me.

Hope that helps.
