What software can create AVCHD DVD?

[cheerful]

Premiere is used to create the m4v (1920x1080i) and ac3 file of the right size for DVD DL.

Encore is used to create the Blu-rady project with menu

However, in Encore's build tab, if the format is chosen as Blu-ray, it can only write the BD-R disc, not DVD+R DL.

I chose Blu-ray Folder and made a build. The resulting folder has BDMV and CERTIFICATE.

Under BDMV\STREAM, there are 3 streams, 1 appears to be the menu and 1 the entire timeline and 1 for 6KB file which I don't know what it's.

Playing back this folder will result in a glimpse of the menu and then the entire timeline. The timeline has 15 chapters in Encore but I can't move forward or backward.

Is there anything wrong with the chapter stuff?

How can I burn it to a DVD+DL?

Thanks!

Imgburn happily burns AVCHD structures to DVD. I don't know if Encore creates compliant AVCHD output for DVD burning, but MultiAVCHD does.

The file structure looks all right:

12/19/2010 22:39 <DIR> AUXDATA
12/19/2010 22:52 <DIR> BACKUP
12/19/2010 22:39 <DIR> BDJO
12/19/2010 22:52 <DIR> CLIPINF
12/19/2010 22:52 336 index.bdmv
12/19/2010 22:39 <DIR> JAR
12/19/2010 22:39 <DIR> META
12/19/2010 22:52 1,146 MovieObject.bdmv
12/19/2010 22:52 <DIR> PLAYLIST
12/19/2010 22:52 <DIR> STREAM

I think I just does understand the difference b/w BD and DVD. There appears to be no menu like DVD. Is that the case?

Besides, there were some old posts about burning with different format (UDF). Is that still valid?

Thanks!

I don't believe you can just burn a BD output to DVD. That is, I understand, why the AVCHD DVD standard was created.

If you create an AVCHD structure and burn with Imgburn you will have no problems.

I installed TMT 3 and it can play the BD output folder just fine.

I am a bit confused with your post. Do you mean it's OK or not OK to just burn the content of this folder to DVD? What's the format?

Thanks!

If it will fit on a DVDR, try it, and be sure to use ImgBurn. I feel certain it will work okay. I build Blu-Ray structure (in tsMuxer) and burn to DVDR all the time, mind you I have a Sony BDP-S360 that doesn't seem to be picky about it. Two, actually.

Do you have a standalone player that you *know* will play burnt BDRs and AVCHDs?

AVCHD, particularly on a DvD disc, is a feature on blu-ray players, not a standard. If your streams are compliant, and your player has the AVCHD logo, it will work if authored and burned properly - and Imgburn will then work fine.

If your streams are not compliant and/or your player doesn't have the AVCHD logo, you are playing with "finger-crossing compatibility". It still might work, but no guarantees and this will have nothing to do with Imgburn.

MultiAVCHD will convert most anything to the "AVCHD" file format compatible with DVDR.

Just in case you didn't know, an "AVCHD" file structure can include H.264, MPeg2 or VC1 files but they must be in m2ts transport streams and some older players limit bit rates (approx 17-25Mb/s) to ~2x-3x spin speed..

Are you getting your chapter menus?
