Hi Bizily
Welcome to the forum
MPEG2 or H.264 will both work equally well on a Blu-ray disc. MPEG2 is a larger file size though.
You may want to consider the following:
1.
Always try to keep the original file type when producing or burning to disc.
For example if your camera records in MPEG2 high definition (like a JVC camera) then choose this profile, or if your camera is an AVCHD like a Sony or Panasonic choose the H.264 profile.
2. You can also use a DVD to burn an AVCHD file but this type of disc can only be played in a Blu-ray or PS3 player and the quality is almost as good as Blu-ray. DVD's are really cheap compared to Blu-ray discs.
3. Make a very small project and experiment with the different settings.
I personally burn my projects using the H.264 profile onto a Blu-ray disc and then produce my project in two formats (AVCHD 1920x1080 24mbps custom profile to match my camera settings and MPEG2 BD1920x1080).
These files are then stored/archived on my external hard drive.
Happy editing
