I have read when AVCHD is recorded on a DVD, the disc's maximum spin speed limits the data rate to 18Mb/s. However, this info was printed circa 2009.

My Panasonic video camera records AVCHD into a BDMV folder and to this format:

Format: AVC
Format/Info: Advanced Video Codec
Format profile: High@L4.2
Format settings: CABAC / 2 Ref Frames
Bit rate mode: Variable
Bit rate: 23.8 Mb/s
Maximum bit rate: 25.0 Mb/s
Width: 1920 pixels
Height: 1080 pixels
Frame rate: 50.000 FPS
Colour space: YUV
Chroma subsampling: 4:2:0
Bit depth: 8 bits
Scan type: Progressive

Maximum Overall bit rate with audio: 28.0 Mb/s

My Pioneer Blu-ray player is about 5 years old, and I burnt the BDMV folder to a DVD and the Pioneer played it with no problems.

My question is, have they changed the AVCHD specifications in this day and age. Are later Blu-ray player able to read a DVD faster? How far can I push the maximum Overall bit rate?
