Just bought Sony HandyCam HDR-CX110, which included Sony Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software that allows disc burning, viewing, editing, etc. Now trying to burn DVDs. I know that AVCHD format is not compatible with many players ... my Samsung Blu-Ray player, for example. I own two computers: Toshiba Satellite U505 & MacBook. Specs are shown in my profile. Here are my questions:

1. I'm thinking of buy a Sony Blu-Ray disc player so the discs I create with PMB will play. Sound like a good idea?

2. Is a Sony Blu-Ray disc player compatible with my Samsung HD TV?

3. Are my two computers suitable for video editing, disc burning, format conversion, e.g., AVCHD to MPEG?

4. Is there better software than PMB out there?

Thank you.l
