Thanks, my player has the newest firmware 1.4
What I believe to be correct is that the structure of an AVCHD disc and a Blu-Ray disc is quite similar. The most of the folders are the same, but some are different from each other. I do not use the software from Canon (ImageMixer 3) to make my AVCHD discs because I think it is crappy, slow and unstable.
I simply rename some of the files from the SD card, and make some required folders to match the Blu-Ray or AVCHD standard and they play flawlessly on the BD player. The conversion is done in 5 minutes even if I have to change all the .MTS extensions to .m2ts and .CPI to .clpi. I use a GREAT little piece of software called PFrank to do this in a snap for me.
What would be truly fantastic is if someone could make a script that did this renaming of files and folders automaticly. I do not think this would be difficult at all for someone with this knowledge.
The file structure for an AVCHD disk lookes like this:
\AVCHDTN\
\AVCHDTN\thumbnail.tdt2
\AVCHDTN\thumbnail.tidx
\BDMV\
\BDMV\index.bdmv
\BDMV\MovieObject.bdmv
\BDMV\BACKUP\
\BDMV\BACKUP\index.bdmv
\BDMV\BACKUP\MovieObject.bdmv
\BDMV\BACKUP\CLIPINF\
\BDMV\BACKUP\CLIPINF\00000.clpi
\BDMV\BACKUP\PLAYLIST\
\BDMV\BACKUP\PLAYLIST\00000.mpls
\BDMV\CLIPINF\
\BDMV\CLIPINF\00000.clpi
\BDMV\PLAYLIST\
\BDMV\PLAYLIST\00000.mpls
\BDMV\STREAM\
\BDMV\STREAM\00000.m2ts
\BDMV\index.bdmv
\BDMV\index.bdmv
\BDMV\index.bdmv
Read the link in my post above for the structure of a Blu-Ray disc.
The structure on the SD card from the camera is not far from this but the difference is enougth for the player to refuse it if I burn directly.
I have used files from both the Pana SD9 and the Canon HF100. No difference.
Anyone with experience on this ?
