Hi JoAnn,

What profile did you select? I guess you selected an AVCHD 2.0 profile (high frame rate/bitrate) but your BD player supports AVCHD 1.0 only. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks-I'll try additional settings.

Not all Bluray players will play a AVCHD DVD. Some will some won't.

Check your Bluray player's manual to see if AVCHD is listed as a playable disk.

When I used PD 11, I could burn my home videos in AVCHD format, using 1920x1080 p format, and they play nicely in our BluRay player. Now, that I have upgraded to PD 15, the discs I have burned trying to use AVCHD at any setting, don't work. Has Cyberlink disabled this feature in subsequent versions of PD?

PD 15 has not removed the AVCHD in Create Disk. It is at Create Disk > 2D disk.

However, PD 15 may have some changes that, may have caused problems. I have not burned an AVCHD disk in a long time.

I usually use Bluray for HD Videos.

I would try your AVCHD disk in a newer Bluray player that supports AVCHD to see what happens. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

The avchd discs I burned with PD 11 will play without problem. The ones I burned with PD 15 don't play-either I get a message that my blue ray player doesn't support avchd 2.0 or the sound plays, but not the video. I think I will return PD 15 and go back to using PD11. I really don't want to buy a new blu ray player, as ours still works! I guess newer is not always the right choice for everyone! Thank you for taking the time to help me. JoAnn However, PD 15 may have some changes that, may have caused problems. I have not burned an AVCHD disk in a long time.

That was the 24p progressive format in PD11.

I know what is causing the formatting problem here. Reply on an earlier thread instead of the one just above it cause the formatting issue that hopefully Cyberlink can correct.

im not sure I understand what you mean.

Doubt it, I do that all the time. More than likely what hacks the formatting is people unknowingly edit the BB code syntax when they reply to the msg leaving open code that gets carried. CL is probably simply going in and editing bad message that had the BB code syntax hack to correct. Hopefully CL will put a little effort into fixing several layout anomalies that have been reported at some point in time, until then, people could at least edit their bad message construct.

Just like here, http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/50705.page#post_box_266359 until CL fixes hacked BB code in the post, msg will probably be displayed in formatting error.

Not sure if anyone has actually given the correct answer about AVCHD here but this is what I found out a few of months ago using PD14.

Cyberlink will make an AVCHD 2.0 disc if you use XAVCS in the "PRODUCE" section of PD15.
(XAVCS appears to be the only format that has 50fps as an option)

Samsung BluRay players will not play AVCHD 2.0 discs but they will tell you that the disc is AVCHD 2.0 so Samsung knows all about it!!! Ha!

Panasonic and Sony agreed on this format of AVCHD about 11 years ago so Sony BluRay players will probably play it too.

But Samsung will not. Way to go Samsung!

But what about Cyberlink who give no indication that you are creating an AVCHD 2.0 disc and just leave you to find out your problem on your own.

Come on Cyberlink! Get your act together! Does PD15 explain this to the unsuspecting user? Phil
