AVCHD and Pioneer BDP-121

[dgroovy]

I've tried converting a Mkv movie in AVCDHD with TS-Muxer and burned it on a DVD-9......

worked fine on the PS3 (was shown as a AVCHD) even if the video was in the the top of the screen with black bar at the bottom (Think it's because of the resolution).

But then i've tried it on a stand alone Pioneer blu-ray player that support AVCHD (the BDP-121) and then an error message that says that the disk could not be read?? Any Idea

First thing I'd try is to try a different blank disc and copy it again. Or try -r or +r instead. The pioneer may be more picky about recordable dvdr than the ps3.

Also see if there is a firmware update for the pioneer. It may have improved avchd functionality with a system update. HOWEVER READ YOUR MANUAL BEFORE DOING ANY FIRMWARE UPDATE! Don't brick your pioneer by doing something wrong. Of course that is assuming the pioneer can be upgraded.

I'll try that...and yes it can be upgraded...It have also a usb port so i wondering if i can put a AVCHD on a memory stick for it i'l make experiment and come back asap

i don't think that dvd-r exist in dual layer isn't it??

I would suspect non-compliant resolution. Maybe the *.mkv needs to be run through uncropmkv first?

Some Blu-ray players are finicky about DVD +R media & you can purchase dual layer DVD -R DL media from newegg for the same cost as +R DL. I use these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817505008 for my friends Samsung BD-P3600 which only accepts DVD-R & they work great. However an odd scenario must be done to play AVCHD’s with the Samsung BD-P3600. (This came about by accident after playing a Blu-Ray disc.) You have to put a Blu-Ray disc in first play it for a few seconds, then all AVCHD’s discs will play on DVD-R 5/9 until the unit is turned off. Once the unit is turned off a Blu-Ray disc must be played for a second or two again before playing an AVCHD. You may want to try this with your Pio & your manual does state DVD +R compatibility http://www.pioneerelectronics.ca/ephox/StaticFiles/Manuals/Home/BDP-121_OperatingInstr...ctions0317.pdf however I’d definitely try DVD-R discs.


I have not made AVCHD using TS-Muxer I mostly use AVCHDCoder https://www.videohelp.com/tools/AVCHDCoder & occasionally multiAVCHD https://www.videohelp.com/tools/multiAVCHD

I was playing around with this all weekend. It seems your video wasn't compliant to the resolutions. Try to use uncropMKV and resize it to the AVCHD compliant size.

I made a AVCHD with multiAVCHD and first few MKVs i made reported back as non-compliant. PS3 will play the disc no doubt but that could be the reason for the disc not playing on other Blu Ray players. Its what I have read but can't confirm because I don't have a BD Player, I made my PS3 my BD Player.

Hope this helps
