Best current Bluray settings from a pro res 29.97p movie file

Hi,

I need some urgent advice on bluray settings. I have a master movie file that is 150GB 1920x1080 29.97 progressive and I want to output the best settings for a blu-ray DVD. I'm not sure what frame rate the export settings should be and whether I should choose H.264 or Mpeg2

The DVD is for NZ but I don't know whether it really matters if I choose NTSC or PAL. It is being projected in a cinema if that make a difference.

I also have an 8GB version of the film and I'm not sure if the quality difference between that and 150GB file is that different. Is it safer to use the enormous master file?

Hope someone can help!

    Hi Catherine:

    How did making your Blu-ray and/or DVD go?  Well, I hope.

    New Zealand is PAL.  As such, you'd want your DVD-Video data to conform to i25.  It's also "region 4" for DVDs.  So, you'd want your PAL DVD-Video to be either "Region 4" or "All Regions".

    Your post mixed Blu-Ray and DVD, but the only thing that hey have in common is the diameter of the disc.  The specifications are very different.
