Yes. But now you have a 1080p MKV. In order to create a BD, you would need to import the new MKV.

If your eventual goal is to create a blu-ray disc, and you are using this method, I would suggest you add ALTERNATE_BLURAY=1 to your BDREBUILDER.INI file. That way the alternate output will be blu-ray compliant. The advantage to that is that when you import it, it does not have to be reencoded again to meet blu-ray requirements.

So in order to take a 2160p source (MKV) and make 1080p blu-ray you could:

1. Import the 2160p source using FILE/IMPORT/VIDEO FILES
2. Set BD-RB up for ALTERNATE output (MODE/MOVIE-ONLY/ALTERNATE MOVIE OUTPUT/MKV Container, 1920x1080, 640Kbs DD5.1)
3. Add ALTERNATE_BLURAY=1 to your INI file.
4. Run the job.
5. Upon completion you will have a 1080p MKV file in which the video is blu-ray compliant
6. Import the new MKV file.
7. After import, you can burn the structure from the imported path.

Before doing step 7, you can remove the folder PSEUDO from structure as it isn't needed. (But it should still work even if you leave it.) Make sure you select AC3 (DD) as your audio in step 2, otherwise if your source is AAC you'll end up with a disc that can't be played on a standard blu-ray player.
