Exporting a sharp MPEG-2 TS file for Blu-ray authoring

Getting the most from Windows Media codecs with Velocity
- Update the Windows Media codecs to the more advanced version available from Microsoft or from the archived installer. The installer works in the background: wait for the message "Windows Media Format 11 Runtime Setup has completed", then reboot.
- In Velocity, from Output > Movie Output select WMV and click Modify Settings.
- Click Custom Profile Manager, then New.
- Type a name for the new profile and click Next.
- Select the audio codec, bit rate and sampling mode; select the video codec Windows Media 9 Advanced Profile; set the target resolution; click Next.
- Click Add... and enter a video bit rate (only a reference value: the actual bit rate will be determined by quality, see next step); click Next.
- Set the target frame rate, enable Variable Bitrate, set VBR Mode to Quality and the Image Quality slider to 80. This slider is the key to the result: depending on the source, try values between 75 and 88. Click Finish.
- The new profile is listed; click Edit to change it or Finish, then Close to return to the Velocity Windows Media Movie Settings dialog.
- Enable Custom Profiles, select the new profile and enable Create Index.
- Under Compression Options you can enable image filters such as the Deinterlace filter (Velocity 9 only). For a target vertical resolution below the single-field resolution (240 for NTSC, 288 for PAL), set Field Handling to Field 1 or Field 2 and do not use the Deinterlace filter; use it only when the target height is greater than the single-field height and the scene contains a lot of motion. Click OK.
- Click Create Output to generate the Windows Media movie.
