Thank you and thank you. You save my day...
Is there any issue with playing MPEG-2 BD on a early sony BD player,
specifically the BPD-S300 ?

You don't need to convert to AVCHD unless your looking try to squeeze more video onto the disc and it may take a few extra hours of encoding. Just leave it as MPEG2 when you want to render out to the disc/hard drive. Remember MPEG2 is also Blu-ray compliant

None that I know of, just need to make sure that the video is Blu-ray compliant which the editing software should do. Then, you'll just need to burn it to BD.

If you don't need menus or anything fancy, you can use TsMuxer to create the necessary files to burn to a BD or DVD. Also, if you do burn to DVD you should probably lower the bitrate of your video to 10mbps or whatever the BPD-S300 can handle without getting choppy video. It's something you will have to play with as each player will be different, I would guess that most will handle 10mbps.
