I have ordered PE v 10 and I want to create AVCHD discs whose content originates from AVCHD 1080 video (from Canon camcorder) and from photos. In addition to PE v10 running on Windows 7, what do I need
on my computer
-- what software do I need for playback of the AVCHD format disc ?
-- am I correct that I only need a normal DVD burner for both writing and playback of the AVCHD disc ?
for my HD TV
-- I don't want to be limited to connecting a computer to my HD TV for playback
-- so do I look for a TV DVD player which says that it can play the AVCHD discs ? any suggestions of players which others like ?
Ideally I would like one TV DVD player with HDMI connection to the TV that :
-- does upconversion of standard DVDs (purchased and burned) for better HD TV playback
-- does the AVCHD playback of discs I burn from PE 10
-- play jpegs from a disc (CD or DVD) and from a USB flash drive
-- does playback of commercial Blu-ray discs (this is not immediately anticipated but seems like it would be good to have)
Any suggestions for players to purchase in the USA ?
