Ok, here are a few screenshots comparing the quality of both BD/MKV and AVCHD to the Lossless Source.

The AVCHD looks really great... do you think that quality could be achieved if I re-encode the MKV video to 15000kbps again?

Generally I don't recommend doing such a thing and honestly I can't see why you want to. Output quality will largely depend on the encoding settings as will speed. I guess you could achieve the AVCHD quality or even better in such a scenario if you used optimal, but also very slow settings which are carefully adjusted.

I want to do it because I'd like to add a German crawl and German Greedo subs. Logistically it'll be a bit complicated getting the lossless video files from Harmy to me. If re-encoding the MKV proves to be a viable option, I'd definitely go that route.
