No, there isn't an AVCHD burner that I know of. You're choices for burning to DVD are blue ray, hddvd or simply downconverting to Standard Definition. But I wouldn't obsess over which burner will win out the silly format wars. Sooner or later there will be multi format drives that will handle both. One just came out that burns to Blue Ray but also reads DVD. So it's only a matter of time.

As for making one, I took a trip over to videohelp.com and found this possibility:

AVCHD is an odd beast. Not the easiest thing to work with, but the number of supporting apps are increasing.

Your choices are the following:

Elecard AVCHD Converter Studio

http://www.elecard.com/products/products-pc/consumer/converter-studio/

TmpgencXpress v4

http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/te4xp.html

Sony Vegas v7

CoreAVC with Avisynth --> Feed to your favorite Encoder. Both ConvertXtoDVD and FAVC are really good. ConvertX has better DVD menuing, FAVC has a better encoder and is free

Also, regarding UDF 2.5, are you certain XP can't just read them natively ? I thought only older O/Ses had problems with UDF. And I believe IMGBurn can read that format, as it certainly can write to it.


In addition, Nero now has AVCHD support.

That's enough to get you started.
