Sorry to resurrect, but in case it will be of interest - I did the above and created an AVCHD disk in UDF 2.5. It was a Dual Layer DVD9. My LG BD390 Bluray player recognized it as a bluray disk, but then gave me an error and wouldn't play it. I may try a smaller file on a standard DVD4.
Thanks,
Diz

I wanted an HD video camera to record my son's soccer matches and to use when I travel. I have a Blu Ray player and a DVD burner on my computer but no Blu Ray burner, so the idea of playing AVCHD DVDs on my Blu Ray player was appealing.
It took a good deal of effort to figure out how to author those AVCHD DVDs and I found that a little bit frustrating. I first started writing software over 40 years ago, so I consider my self an expert. It took me two days to figure this out. In an effort to help others, I'm including the simplest procedure that enabled me to create an AVCHD DVD on my older Windows XP Pro machine with a DVD writer that would play on my Sony BDP-S560 Blu Ray player.
The procedure below requires downloading two software packages. I make no claims as to whether or not these are virus free or safe to use. I use them with no adverse effects, but each user should make their own decision based on their own judgment and risk tolerance. If you are a complete novice to computing then you probably will need help with the process below. For example, I don't go through the step by step process of how to download and install software or how to copy files from one location to another. The instructions need to be followed carefully and exactly.

Great documentation.
I do the same for HDV or cable box m2t MPeg2 source as well as AVCHD.
The AVCHD/BDMV folder created by MultiAVCHD can contain MPeg2 or VC1 files as well and will play on a Blu-Ray player.Last edited by edDV; 15th Aug 2010 at 16:55.
