If you are considering buying the MainConcept HD encoder plugin for Premiere Pro with the objective of producing BDAV legal streams, don't bother. They don't have a preset, and advise as follows:

"Dear Kent,

unfortunately we do not officially support the BluRay format in Premiere.

If you search in the Web for BluRay you might find the correct settings for BluRay which can be done with our Plugin as well.

Not sure about the plug-in vs. standalone but on the standalone and using the HD2 and H.264main/high (not 100% but pretty sure on these) presents the PS3 was able to play directly from the encoded mpg file. Not sure what DVDit will do with it though... The presets would choke on my longer clips so I don't use it.
