The result was wildly improved over the DVD output of VideoReDo, which I'd used to edit the show originally. Not sure what you do vs. VRD but it looks wonderful (I'm quite sure it's interlaced), including that the BD-RB_DVD retains all chapter marks I'd made! Thanks!

Oh wait, this is a bug thread only. Well, one odd thing is that the original TV broadcast, and thus the BDMV I'd pointed BD-RB at, had 384Kbps AC3 5.1 audio originally, and BD-RB converted it to 448Kbps. Not sure why it would bother to do so, but it seemed odd to me especially since the log had showed 640 in it:

No worries, good stuff, thanks again. Guess I'm gonna hafta get in line with my donation shortly!

Yeah. It does that by default because most non-HD audio sources on BD are 640Kbs (which is illegal for DVD). 384Kbs is pretty unusual even for DVD...
