One requirement for AVCHD (and Blu-ray) discs is that the disc file system has to be UDF and the file revision has to be 2.5. You set those in Image Burn on the Options tab.

Thanks, Xerox. Do you think that may be the problem? It seems like the actual folders/files are being burned to the disk and not an actual movie. Problem is every time I try something and it fails, I lose a new disc. Djstills11

That could be your problem. Also, make sure the video files are in a folder named video_ts __________________________________

Thanks. Im concerned that I may not be importing the right portion of the file into Imgburn. Ive been importing the entire folder that was created when I burned to folder in PD. Is that correct or am I supposed to open it and only import certain folders within the main folder?

You do need the whole folder. It should be named video_ts and may have several files with extension vob, ifo and bup. You may not have them all. I can't remember exactly which ones PD creates, but at least the VOB files. As mentioned, burn this in UDF format. If you use ISO format, some players will still play it and most will think it is a data disc. __________________________________

AVCHD discs do not have Video_TS folders, they have a BDMV folder. The BDMV folder is the folder that needs to appear on your disc. Inside that folder is rest of everything else you need.

What you should have done from the beginning is burn to an actual disc. Then if you need additional copies later, you can use Image Burn to create an IMG file (image file) from the disc. Then in another session of Image Burn you burn discs from the image file.

Correction: Image Burn will create a BIN file, not an IMG file. An IMG file is the wrong format. Gateway DX4380, AMD A8-5500 Quad Core 3.2GHz with ATI Radeon HD 7560D; 16GB RAM; 1 TB SATA 7200 RPM; Windows 8 Pro 64-bit; PDR11, PDVD12.

I'm reporting my experience with PowerDirector 10 and ImgBurn 2.5.7 running under Windows 7 Pro x64.

When you use PowerDirector to burn to an AVCHD folder you will get the folder structure

NameYouGiveToBurnedVideo
---My Video
------BDMV
---------BACKUP
---------CLIPINF
---------PLAYLIST
---------STREAM

Note that Powerdirector inserts the intermediary folder My Video under whatever name you told it to use for your output folder.

Point ImgBurn at the My Video folder, not at the NameYouGiveToBurnedVideo. ImgBurn only looks one level down for the content folders.

If ImgBurn is set to burn a DVD when you point it to an AVCHD or Blu-Ray folder output by PowerDirector, then ImgBurn will display a message "Your image contains a 'BDMV' folder in the root directory so I'm going to assume it's a Blu-ray Video disc.
...
Would you like me to adjust the setting for you?

Click Yes and ImgBurn will proceed in an obvious way.

You then burn an AVCHD DVD disc.

Note that the AVCHD DVD disc will play only in a Blu-Ray player, not in a standard DVD player.

Note that you do not need to tell ImgBurn what kind of disc you are burning. It figures that out from the folder structure. If your next project is a standard DVD and you point ImgBurn at a standard DVD folder created by PowerDirector and ImgBurn is set to burn a Blu-Ray or AVCHD, then ImgBurn will warn you about that situation and offer to change its settings back to DVD. ImgBurn is very forgiving, which is what makes it possible for me to use it.
