    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Hi all,

Just recently picked up a Canon HF S100 flash-based camcorder. My BluRay player claims support of AVCHD files burned onto a data DVD. My player also has an SD slot. If I take video footage and put the SD card (from the camcorder) into the slot, the player plays the AVCHD files flawlessly. However if I copy the contents of that flash card onto a DVD+R, the player tells me This disk is incompatible."

Any ideas?

Tx!

It's probably because you have there a data dvd with an AVCHD folder structure on it instead of a DVD formatted for AVCHD with the proper lead in and lead out (and other things) for an AVCHD Video-dvd.

The only way to do it on a Mac cheaply AFAIK is using Toast w/ the HD plugin.
