Loading ...Writing or Burning AVCHD to DVD R
Posted Under: AVCHD Player
If you’re new to burning AVCHD content to DVD-R things might seem a little confusing at first. This is mainly due to the fact that AVCHD is a brand new format and things aren’t as standardized and straight forward as they’ll be in a years time. That said, don’t despair, you’ve made the right choice in purchasing a AVCHD camcorder to play AVCHD video with.
Question: Many people want to know if which, if any, Blue-ray players support blue-ray content on dvd-r. Unfortunately the answer is not as straight forward as you might have hoped it would be. Currently playing HD content on DVD through you blue-ray player depends on a variety of factors but…
Answer: Yes indeed you can burn AVCHD video to DVD by burning the MTS files (be sure you change the extension file as MPEG) using Nero or whatever burner software you have (just change to UDF 2.5) and you’ll be able to play DVD disc with HD content on a bluray player. This will not include menus or authoring for which you’ll need seperate software.
The amount of AVCHD video stored on DVD-R depends on the bit rate. With a bit rate roughly around 11500 Kbps, you’ll be able to store 45 minutes of 1080i video on DVD-R in HD DVD format. If you use a bit rate of 30000 Kbps for your video, then you will be limited to about 15 minutes per disc.
If you’ve purchased a Sony AVCHD HD camcorder, it comes with Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software which includes a “AVCHD Creation” option giving you the option to burn AVCHD to DVD-R.
To close, it is possible to simply copy AVCHD files from a memory card without any changes to a regular dvd-r and your PlayStation 3 (PS3) will read and play them. However it will not automatically concatenate streams and each clip will need to be started and stopped from the folder based menu. You need to wait long enough for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) to display all of the clips in the home screen before playing them to ensure the clips will play without stutter.

So I can burn HD Footage on standard DVD but only can play with Home BD DVD Player or PS3, so the files in that standard DVD are not readable from standard DVD drive from my pc with AVCHD player installed in my pc? since I know that the BDDVD disc is a different format and I need a BDDVD Writer to burn or read them, but why if standard DVD is readable from any drive? why can’t play those files? hope you understand my concern thanks.
