Finally, there are few input formats which BD-RB will not recognize and throw an error.
See also the discussion here and around here for more details.
Since v0.50.22 BD-RB accepts huffyuv etc. as well as it has been included in that list, but your source will be re-encoded and converted to AVC 4:2:0 with CRF=18 (default) unless you tweak it.

Edit:
In case you convert to 720x576i 4:3 you may watch out for the little --sar bug reported here. I trust it will get fixed in the next release....
Thanks! I have only 720x576i 4:3 Huffyuv sources to convert (import) to AVC....I hope I can overwrite the sar bug on the command line for the encode using the command line tweaks.
