I just received my LG BH200 (Blu-ray and HD DVD combo player) back from LG. The unit did not work out of the box so I sent it in for repair. They replaced the main board and loaded the latest firmware. The latest firmware (12/08) does not support BD-R/AVCHD discs. I tried several times and finally looked around www.avsforum.com and found the April 08 firmware is the latest that still supports BD-R/AVCHD playback. So I downgraded the firmware and an AVCHD DVD plays fine. I'm not sure where LG is on BD-R support with the BD300. Check out AVS forum.FYI, my HD camcorder does not record AVCHD format, but Ulead VideoStudio 11.5+ can author it. I just received my LG BH200 (Blu-ray and HD DVD combo player) back from LG.

Hi,Is there a difference between AVCHD and Bluray from a technical or quality perspective? I always thought of them as the same, but the info I have read on the Sony 560V seems to imply they are separate standards. Is AVCHD video editing the same as editing software to handle and burn Bluray disks? Thanks in advance for any input and guidance on this.

Interesting. Well I have several encoder programs on my computer so they will likely get a work out. Although truthfully, most of the time I simply burn a dvd of the avi I want to watch on my computer and then watch it through my dvd player. Thank you God for multiple HDMI ports on most HDTVs. If Western Digital would just improve their support of internet movie sites they could probably kill Roku. Instead they go the route of adding a hard drive to their media player. They're missing the direction of media players. They need to go wireless and support internet content sites. They have the file support down to a science now it's time to build on it. Interesting.

I'm not sure I've never put a burned blue ray disc in the player before. But yeah it should work it plays burned DVDs. I'll try to see if it plays burn Blu-ray Disc when I get a chance to ok hope this helps a little. I tried it today and it works but it all depends on what software your using to burn the Blu-ray Disc too.

I think your asking if it plays burned or homemade DVDs, like most players it will depend on how fast or slow the DVD was burned. I have not had an issue there but I burn SLOW. I'm very happy with this unit. Price and its online features make it the best bang for buck. Don't even pay for cable tv anymore. It's that good. Well made DVDs won't be a problem..I hope that helps

It should, although I haven't tried it. Most people want to go the other way around... Record on the hard drive (temporary) and archive onto DVD (temporary to semi-permanent to permanent, depending on the type of DVD disk.) May I ask why you would want to put something from a playable archived format onto a temporary unit?

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

I have a Panasonic HDC-SD1 camcorder and the BD60 Blu Ray Player plays the video shot with this camcorder just fine. I'm using an 8 GB SDHC card. Just remove the card from the camcorder and insert in the player front slot. Don't edit or change anything on the video 'cause it won't work. I've used Ulead video studio pro x2 and Cyberlink Power director8 to edit and burn the AVCHD video on DVD and played just fine on the Panasonic BD60. If put the final edited video on the SD card it doesn't work.

I have seen lots of video editing software and Blu Ray HD burners, many going on and on about how you can create a Hi Def disk to play back on a COMPUTER. My question is simple. After burning the Hi Def video can I play it back so I can watch the video on my TV? I am only interested in creating a Hi Def disk that I can watch on my TV, otherwise, i'll just play the video straight to my HDTV from my HD camcorder. Can someone tell me what I need to acomplish this.

OK, so if I have my external Blu-ray burner USB to my computer, and an external HDD USB to the DVR, I can record to the external HDD, then move the HDD to my computer to transfer video to my blu-ray burner would this work?

It doesn't say weather it's a Blu-ray rewriter, but it does say it will burn regular dvd's. You'll have to try it because I am uncertain of that feature.

yes, bd-rom does play blu-ray. i had 2 bought at different times so not sure if this one had the software for the codac to playblu-ray. its setup to do that but u might need to buy the cyberlink powerdvd 13 which gives u the proper info to make your player do the blu-ray properly. I found out that i needed it for one of the bd-rom players! one had the software enclosed, one didnt.This is good drive, All BD-roms blu-ray ready. I have no trouble with drive now and bought the newer cyberlink-pwrdvd13 when found out the 12 did not allow my blu-ray to work decoding the info on blu-ray discs.

Sorry, I've never used Blu-Ray, but I don't believe it is. This unit has worked very well for dubbing DVD's and tapes to DVD, but I can't find my owner's manual - I just moved and it's in one of many boxes. I did some online Googling and the specs I found that said what formats are playable did not include Blu-Ray.

Roxia Creator NXT2 is absolutely phenominal. No need to buy expensive blank blu-ray disks. Creator NXT2 allows you to record AVCHD format files directly to a standard blank DVD disk as a AVCHD DVD. Your blu-ray player will recognize it as a 1920x1080p MP4 video file with Dolby 5.1 Surround audio. I have made dozens of outstandingly sharp HD slide shows with Dolby 5.1 soundtrack from still photos taken with my digital camera in the 16x9 wide screen mode.

Hello John Barry, I work for Nero and saw your question about burning Blu-ray discs with your NEC recorder drive. Nero 2014 Platinum fully supports your recorder drive. Feel free to download and test our free trial version first in order to find out if the program fully fits your purposes. http://www.nero.com/eng/products/nero/free-trial-download.php Thanks and best regards, Eduardo

Yes, I too have had similar experiences. The BD60 plays the flash memory cards from my HF200 perfectly, but not if I've edited the footage and then copied that back to the flash memory. After doing some research, I learned the reason is because AVCHD isn't just a single video file, but has a whole support structure that goes along with it. When you edit the video file portion of it, you need to make corresponding changes to some other files in other directories in the AVCHD structure. Unless you do that, nothing will play.
