1. Re: Best workflow for burning Blu-ray and DVD
John T Smith Mar 5, 2013 3:34 PM (in response to Joe Riggs)As well as the output being different codecs, my reading indicates that the menus for BluRay do not downrez very well, if at all
The advice I have always read is two different projects

JSS1138 Mar 5, 2013 5:58 PM (in response to Joe Riggs)I second John's advice. Create two projects, with appropriately sized assets for each.
It's not efficient at all, but it does eliminate a lot of issues, and provides opportunity for superior quality.

Alan Craven Mar 5, 2013 11:17 PM (in response to John T Smith)The only way that you can get acceptable re-scaling of menus is to go from BR to DVD, and do the editing in Photoshop. Simply re-scaling the menu here will not give acceptable results.
I usually copy the various button layers from the BR menu to a new DVD menu file created using the provided Photoshop preset. You will still have to do some manual re-scaling and alignment. The thing that has given me the most trouble over the years is round button highlights - a segment is often chopped off. Font sizes will probably need adjusting too.
Unless you are adept with handling layers and groups within Photoshop, it may be easier to start again.
Any attempt to convert within Encore is unlikely to produce acceptable menus in my experience.
