PD has problems with AVCHD rendering and SVRT for AVCHD but is has great features and is easy to use. Two work arounds for AVCHD rendering quality is to use GPU rendering or render to Blu-ray mpeg2. These preserve good quality in my experience.
Unfortunately all the NLEs I have tried don't do a good job of downscaling to standard definition DVD.
PD also lets you make AVCHD DVDs which are playable on many Blu-ray players and is much cheaper than blu-ray media.
