Thanks guys - it's lots of fun getting this stuff to work
FYI - PD has been able to produce AVCHD 2.0 compliant disks for a while at 1080x50 or 60p and any player that supports AVCHD V2 will (should) be fine. These AVCHD V2.0 disks however will not play on many BD players that don't explicitly support AVCHD V2 as:
- The header identifies the disk as AVCHD V2.0 so a lot of players that are AVCHD (but not V2) compliant will bring up a msg saying they are not compatible with AVCHD V2.0 disks.
- The file format is based on an 8.3 naming convention so a lot players that are BD only (eg no AVCHD support at all) will not see the disk at all
What this hack does is to let you create a BD disk that contains 1080/50 or 60p content with:
- A std BD header
- Long file names
The result is all BD players will try to play the disk but as it is not a (currently) supported spec it is hit and miss what ones (as you have found) will work.
PD makes all versions of BD and AVCHD disks that are compliant to their respective standards. We have just found a way of making a non-compliant BD that now contains 1080/50 or 60p material that works in many players
.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks
Nathan
