BluRay\AVCHD output options for BDRebuilder?

[KillingTime]

Hi,

Searched the BDRebuilder FAQ and google on this but no joy.

It seems that BDRebuilder can output AVCHD and BluRay structures depending on .... what?

1. whether you want full disk backup or movie only (?)
2. whether you select DVD5/9 as the output media or BD25/50 (?)

I ask because people seem to be having better compatibility with AVCHD, as opposed to BluRay structures on set top players.

If I select movie only, and target a 25GB BD-R, what will the output structure be? BlueRay or AVCHD?

In MultiAVCHD, you get the option to go down the BluRay or AVCHD route depending on the button you select, but there are no such buttons for BDRebuilder.

Thanks.

If it goes to BD-5/9 and it is movie-only it will be AVCHD. If it isn't movie-only it can't be. Anything you output to BD-25 is blu-ray format.

I have to disagree with you though on your compatibility statement. All settop players will accept blu-ray format on BD-25 (no exceptions) as long as you use a blank disc that is standard. On BD-5/9 all settop players that support AVCHD should accept a movie-only encode (remember, though, that some players don't support AVCHD at all). Only some players will accept full backups on BD-5/9.
