I bought Creater 2010 Pro and am trying to burn a AVCHD disk that will play in my blueray player, but I am having a problem.

I created a 14 minute video comprised of 7 or so m2ts video files in VideoWave. Then I went to MyDVD and created a menu and burned an AVCHD disc using DVD +R media. I burned two discs, setting one quality to "Same as Original" and one to "High Quality" and I got the same error. I would put the dvd in my Magnavox NB530MGX blueray player and a screen comes up: "Disc Error: Please eject the disc. Playback feature may not be available on this disc." When I try to play the disc on my laptop, I know the menu and the video are on the disc, but my laptop is not fast enough to keep up with the video, so it skips.

I did try this dvd on another bluray player (a Panasonic, don't know the model number), and it seemed to work okay. So it may not be the dvd or program, but my player. That is why I was wondering if I had to have a player with a certain firmware version on it.

I also tried to burn a standard definition dvd with avi and mpg files, and it played fine in my player.

The laptop I am using Creator 2010 on is: HP Pavilion dv7 1130 US

The Specs are:

Processor: AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Mobile RM 70 2.0 GHz
Memory: 4.0 GB
System: 64 bit Operating System using Windows Vista Home Premium wtih Service Pack 2

Any help would be appreciated.

Not all BD players support AVCHD discs. You will have to find out from the mfg if the model referred to will support with any such updates.

Firenhancer,

Thank you for your quick reply. I looked up the specs on my Bluray and it doesn't mention AVCHD anywhere. That might be my problem.

Does Roxio offer any other way to burn a HD video, other than having a bluray burner? Maybe I can create the video through VideoWave and export it as an HD WMV file and use another company to burn the ISO file to dvd.

Again, thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, besides authoring it to either a AVCHD (BD on DVD) or Bluray Disc, am uncertain if there are players that support HD formats such as HD WMV etc. If you are considering a hardware purchase, PS3 is your best bet rather than finding ways to use different software to achieve identical results

I purchased a Sony HD camcorder and wanted to preserve the HD video quality and be able to burn it on a dvd (since I don't have a bluray burner) and play it in my bluray player.

So I first purchased the program "Magix." I created a WMV HD disk through Magix (about 13 minutes in length comprising of 7 or so m2ts video clips) and it took 4 hours to render this on my desktop (I have an HP Pavilion d4100e, AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processsor 4200+, 2.19 GHz, 2.00 GB Ram, using Windows XP Service Pack 3). This played fine on my bluray player, but I wanted to find a more efficient program to render and burn my dvds. So I purchased Creator 2010 to see if it would be faster. (I loaded this on my laptop) I did find that I could burn the same videos in about 34 minutes. I was very excited, however, I now find that my bluray player doesn't play AVCHD files. I create videos for family and friends and some have dvd players and some have bluray players. I was hoping I could make HD dvds for those who have bluray players with HD videos, and make SD dvds for those who have SD video and have a dvd player. It looks like it isn't going to be as easy as I hoped. Not only do you have to make sure of what type of media dvd players play (DVD +R or -R), you now have to make sure what video files are compatible with bluray players (WMV video or AVCHD video).

Oh well. Maybe one day, we will have a universal format for all players

Thanks for all your help, firenhancer. I truly appreciate it.

What Blueray player do you have? I didn't know any of them supported WMV HD. I think they should also support DivX HD.

However you are correct. Not all Blueray players support AVCHD on DVD.

I have a Magnavox NB530MGX bluray player. I created a WMV HD disc through Magix and a DIVX/XVID through a trial of AVS - the WMV HD played and the DIVX one didn't.

I am looking at maybe getting another bluray player as I like the Creator 2010 program. I want to find one that plays DIVX/WMV/AVCHD/MPEG files. Are these files also known as H.264 or MPEG2 or MPEG4? Or all these file types different? Does anyone know of a bluray player that plays all of these types of video? I found one. A Philips BDP7310/F7 Blu-ray Disc Player. It mentions WMV, DIVX and AVCHD specifically. I can't seem to find any other bluray player that lists these file types in their product description.

Great find and thanks for the info. Sounds like a winner. I downloaded the manual and it supports DivX HD 1080i and 720p. I saw references to Windows Media Audio (WMA), but not Windows Media Video (WMV).

Your Magnavox is a Philips player. They merged some 6 years ago. And for TVs, they have been great. I don't know about Blu-Ray players, though.
