My HD camcorder comes with software that can burn AVCHD discs. I will most likely be using BD media to burn my videos to. What would I be losing or gaining by creating AVCHD discs instead of Blu-ray compliant discs. Which is the better choice? Are the burnt m2ts files in these two formats virtually identical or is there any editing done to them by the authoring software?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Short answer, for your purposes: Virtually identical, the main difference being allowable bitrate, AVCHD having a lower max bitrate than Blu-Ray. The term AVCHD commonly implies burning to DVDR, but you can burn to BDR just as well. Or put it on other various storage media. Not all standalone players will play AVCHDs, but that's more a matter of firmware not recognizing the file structure when put on a DVDR.
If your software gives you the choice, author to Blu-Ray, since you'll burn to BDRs anyway.

Yes, AVCHD disc is all about fitting to DVDR-5/9 media. But when you go BD you have upped the game a level. At minimum you need a BD drive and drivers.
Which BD record drive do you have?Recommends: Kiva.org - Loans that change lives.

I've got a LG 10LS30 as well. So I'm concurrent with fritzi93.
I don't know anything about your authoring software. But MultiAVCHD+ ImageBurn will work.Recommends: Kiva.org - Loans that change lives.

I have tried MultiAVCHD but it is rather complicated with way too many options. When creating a BD compilation it encountered errors while doing the menu. Is there any other tool that is less complicated and that would create a simple menu and would be less buggy?
The software included with my Panasonic SD90 camcorder is HD Writer AE 3.0 but it can only create AVCHD compilations, not Blu-ray ones...
