Has anyone burned a Blu Ray Movie on a DVD using a standard 4.7 GB disc? If so how do you do it? I have vacation video I want to put on Blu Ray and would like to use a Printable DVD to create my 25 GB blu ray. I do have a Blu Ray Burner but I want to try the DVD to Blu Ray feature out. I have a home built PC with ATI 4870 x2 Video card Asus Motherboard running Vista 64 bit Ultimate, 2 GB of RAM and about 2TB of Hard drive space. I save that this was advertised for Roxio Ulimate 2009 and would like to try this out as DVD are cheaper than Blu Ray Discs and I can put my own graphics on the Disc. I have done one DVD project with no problems.

Look at the Q&A for AVCHD. I do it all the time. You will get about 45 minutes or less on a std disc. Be sure to encode to an ISO file in a new folder with nothing else in it. Encode to a "quality" that is close to the original video quality. Use a menu even though you have only one title (movie). Sometimes you will get an error; sometimes not and there doesn't seem to be a fix.

In MyDVD (Create DVD-Advanced) go to the top menu, select file, new and select AVCHD. The entire process is the same as for a std DVD except for that selection. Make sure you are using good media; no Memorex or store brands, Verbatim or Taiyo Uniden to save those beautiful underwater videos.
