How To Burn A Blu-ray (AVCHD) Quality Disc by Joe Davies

Step One
Download the ImgBurn software from ImgBurn and install it.

Step Two
Create an ISO image file in Architect 5.2 of your AVCHD video file. Your image file will be saved in:
My documents\Architect 5.2 projects\ My Discs\eg name("My first avchd") by default.
You may want to save it on another hard drive rather than C:\ which contains your operating system. This can be done now or later.

A standard DVD can hold 4.7GB of data and that is the limit.
Four eight minute AVCHD videos can be burnt onto one DVD blank disc without any problems.

Step Three
To create the disc, go to:
My Documents \ Architect 5.2 Projects\ My Discs.
Click on My Discs, then find the file that you created eg: (My first avchd iso).
Right click on the file and select, Open with Imgburn. Make sure there's a disc DVD-R in the Rom drive.

Select a burn speed of 8x. As yet I've had no failures with the 5 discs created. The videos are Blu-Ray quality and require a Blu-ray player to play these.

Compared to a cost of $2-$3 a disc to a Blu-ray blank disc, it is a cheap alternative of storing or sharing your video productions. ImgBurn is the only free, fully functional software that will do the job for PC users.

Happy HD burning
