p.s. (edit) A small test that can prove me right or wrong is to use the same .iso that PDVD has problems with and burn it to DVD/BD (depending on the options you used in multiAVCHD), play it in some stand-alone-player (SAP) and compare the results.
I have no SAP as I am using an HTPC with an LG-Bluray/HD-DVD drive for watching my Hires movies.

Imho, a HTPC with PD7 (dis-)qualifies itself as an SAP as the PS3 does - it's a Von Neuman machine running software to play Blu-Ray movies. And I can watch all of my commercial BD w/o any issues.

I've explicitly mentioned PD7 as software, as it may issues others do not have. The test, if the multiAVCHD XMB-menu is still working after starting a movie (and jumping to the top-menu) can be easily exercised by anybody who has burnt a DVD/BD with multiple movies and chapters - I just want here results and point possible issues.

If someone with an SAP is willing to perform a test on the MPEG2/480i material, I can provide a 2min sample (57MB), just drop me a PN.

And regarding Daemon Tools/PD7 - I've read various messages in this forum referring to the problem, but none tracking it down. It's as easy if I wrote: if the disk is large enough (greater than a DL-DVD) it works, otherwise not. This was just a hint to other testers.
