I've created a wedding video for my Nephew with a lot of special effects, particle backgrounds,animations, etc. I'd like to create AVCHD's because my computer doesn't have a blu-ray burner.

I'm using Premiere Pro CC 2017 and I'm not sure what to do. I'm hoping someone knows what I can do here. I have countless hours invested in it. 1080p and it looks great at a file size 27mb. a second.

Thanks, Terry

I would not recommend making AVCHD disk (which are actually HD content on DVD)

You dont need a BD burner to make avchd disks but you do need a BD player to play them. (BUT not all BD players play avchd disks well)

These disks wont play on a dvd player.

The trick here is to make a BD project in Encore and export to a BD image,

Then with e.g. Imgburn or Nero you can burn this BD-image as an image to dvd-disk.

I don't understand why consumer video-editing programs still offer avchd disks.

They are from the dark ages when BD burners and disk were very expensive.

Dark ages? I wouldn't go that far.

Thanks for the feedback but I have a Blu-ray player that accepts flash drives and mp4 progressive video files.I'm don't create Blu-ray videos professionally so I have no need to own or purchase a Blu-Ray burner.

I'm in the untenable position of needing to send several 1080p disks of a wedding video I created. The video happens to be just under 20 min. in duration and a perfect candidate for the AVCHD format.

I understand where you're coming from. Nero allows you to create AVCHD's from any video file. "I Believe"?

The original file size is reduced dramatically by Nero and there is a slight color shift as well.

Original File.

Nero reduces this to 2.5 GB and that can't be working in my favor.

So I'm still seeking a better way if there is one.Any other Ideas?

Kind of repeating myself.

You export in Premiere with a H.264 Bluray preset which is 1080i (1080p is illegal format for BD).

Make bluray image/iso in Encore.

Burn this iso as an image with Nero to a dvd-disk.

Thanks for responding

An mp4 won't work. What I'm trying to do is create a high definition DVD that plays in a blu ray player. Corel VS can do it but color quality suffers as a result of importing the Premiere Pro rendered video. I would like to export a file that needs "Possibly" needs no conversion whatsoever and can be burned directly to disk.The whole key here is that I'm using a standard DVD burner.I don't understand the process that well. I just know what Corel calls AVCHD Disk authoring works and looks great on blu ray players. If I owned a blu ray burner it would make things much easier.

I have access to NERO 2016.
