Burning AVCHD to a DVD is pretty cool.

Last night I was messing around with lots of different formats in PowerDirector8 to "Produce" and "Create Disk" with.

I have a Blu Ray disk (LG 25GB), but after a few uses of the BD-RE disk, such a burning different formats onto it, it stopped working (I'll try a Verbatim BD-RE, I think they are a more stable BD-RE disk)

Anyway, I used the AVCHD format to burn my HD 1920X1080 footage to a standard DVD, and I was suprised of the quality. Of Course you need a Blu Ray Player that plays AVCHD files, but I was basically getting Blu Ray HD quality on a standard DVD-R. I thought that was pretty cool.

It didn't changed nothing, only the storage media.
The quality still 1920x1080 avchd, it just changed the burn media, in this case DVD that support less time.

A regular DVD is 720x480 or 720x576 in this case it needs to be reencoded.

I am having issues burning my files to avchd onto a regular disc. It keeps hanging. It just hangs around 36% or so. Any suggestions? I am using PD8 ultra. I am able to produce standard Dvd's without a problem. Where do I look to find out if I have the correct version. Thanks in advance.
