John, as you can guess I am operating at the limit of my knowledge here. However . . .

What do you mean by “AVCHD disk”? Is a regular DVD that contains movies in AVCHD format – the disk, as I understand it, is created using UDF 2.5. These disks will play in most blu-ray players. The advantage is hi-def video on TV using standard PC burning capability.

The Panasonic utility will perform basic edits (trims only) and stitch clips together them produce such a disk relatively quickly on my system. All I want to do is perform a few more advanced edits (transitions, titles, reverses, and slow motions) then produce the same disk type. However, that is proving very difficult for a novice on Vegas.

I will look in the Panasonic section for some possible alternative clues – good idea, thanks.

Paul.

John, thanks for the reply. As you can guess I am new to Vegas, and have just learned (as a result of your reply) that DVD Architect is yet another product! Before I download it a few questions:
1. There is no mention in the product blurb that DVD Architect will create AVCHD disks
2. You mentioned 720p blu-ray, but its 720p AVCHD that I need
3. If DVD Architect will do the job exactly how do I get my project out of Vegas (currently in AVCHD form) and into DVD architect without a horrendous amount of transcoding?
