I do hope you consider a 2.1 of the AVCHD, but if not it will just force me to buy a blu-ray burner.

Is it not possible to create an AVCHD from a BluRay video?

DVDs ARE good enough for people with SD TV sets. But soon as they buy an HDTV, they will upgrade their movie collection with HD sources. I know it - I have bought my first HDTV only last year and I was shocked when I noticed how BAD the DVDs look on it, even when they looked AMAZING on my old CRT TV.

I've seen some DVDs that look great, and some that do not. Same goes for Blus.

As far as good DVD vs. average Blu, I'd have to sit closer and wear my glasses to be able to see the difference. Or see them projected. Tron and The Princess Bride on Blu looked great when we saw them at a theatre on the big screen, but there were others that I thought were DVDs until I noticed the text in the credits didn't have noticable compression artifacts.
