Unfortunately, we have no idea what causes this error.  Several other users have reported it while other users have no problem at all.  Perhaps if you report this to Tech Support along with your system specs, etc., they can traced it down.

I use XP SP3 and I have about 75% success with AVCHD disc.  First, make sure you are using a menu even if you only have one title in the project Second, encode to an ISO file  select a folder that you create especially for the ISO file; do not have anything in it.  Select a quality close to what your original video quality is.  After the encoding finishes, open your folder.  If you see only the BV.. folder, you have to try again to a different folder.  If you get the ISO file, great, just copy that to a disc.

Remember that you can only get about 30 to 40 minutes of HD video on an AVCHD disc.

Not really a solution…

One guru reports about a 50% success rate – or fail rate if you are of the half empty persuasion  laugh.gif

I have personally seen 4 failures in a row and 1 success… That is using 3 different PC’s and 3 different burners.

Acutally there were about 7 attempts and the "burn" was to ISO which doesn't ever involve a burner.
