I’ve been transferring video from a friends Canon Vixia HF100 to AVCHD onto DVD 9. These are my friend’s home movies & he has asked me to put them onto disc. I knew AVCHD was going to be the best format to use & the most compatible with Blu-Ray players while still maintaining a high res video of 720p. His main Blu-Ray player is a Samsung BD-P3600 although he also has the older Sony BDP 300. And the Sony has played everything I’ve thrown at it even out of spec AVCHD with DTS audio.
My first experiment was with using DVD +R DL not knowing the Samsung wouldn’t play DVD +R & obviously it didn’t work. It is very odd that a player doesn’t play DVD +R especially considering its 2009. One can buy DVD +R DL media everywhere but you will have to look to mail order to find DVD-R DL & even then your choices are limited. I purchased DVD-R DL media but I still don’t know if this will work because in the Samsung BD-P3600 owners’ manual it states DVD-R (4.7 GB) but doesn’t list DL 8.5 GB. See here http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/305/305BD3600.PDF
It would be very odd that this player didn’t play DVD-DL media. Now onto my question I had read in a query to Dean K that some Samsung players won’t play AVCHD with the AUXDATA folder? Unfortunately no specific models where given. And when I go back over with his home movies & it doesn’t work with the DVD-R DL then I really won’t know if it’s the AUXDATA folder or a media issue. Any help on this would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Will
