If my videos are short enough to fit into an AVCHD disc without re-encoding, aside from slightly better compatibility with some ancient Blu-ray standalone players, what advantages would there be to burning an actual Blu-ray disc?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays!

Only advantage is you can fit 5 x 4.37 avchd movies on a 25gb(23.3gb) blu-ray disc.

Actually the advantage is you can use a much bigger bitrate in the avchd. You don't mention the source of the avchd. If this is for example a m2ts h264 recording from a hauppauge hd pvr you can use a much larger bitrate without needing to account for a dual or single layer dvdr capacity. You would still have to do any necessary conversions to make it fully bluray compatible (I don't know anything about that as I have only worked with avchd - I don't have a bluray burner so that is my next option - I do have a bdrom though).

You don't need to do any conversions if the avchd is already compliant,just need to reauthor which i did such as putting my season 1 supernatural on blu-ray,they didn't include English subtitles on it so i had to re-encode to mkv with handbrake and use the cc as the main subs which were english.
I did this on dvd avchd before i got my blu-ray burner.I think,therefore i am a hamster. -
The source is my Sony AVCHD camcorder and it's a compliant 16mb/s 1080i AVCHD file which doesn't need any re-encoding in my authoring programs, so there wouldn't be any advantage to just adding extra bitrate to it, would there?

Adding extra bitrate doesn't help at after the files are made,only when you set your camera to shoot at a higher bitrate if it allows you to do that.

But I'm already shooting at the camera's maximum HD bitrate and frame size. There would be no point in re-encoding after the fact to a higher bitrate (Blu-ray's max is 40 Mb/s). You can't add quality that's not already there, right?
