I tried watching after I burned it, but I've got what I believe is a first generation BD player, and apparently it doesn't play AVCHDs. So I can't give an assessment yet.

You could always watch the movie using your PC; check the file 00001.m2ts inside the AVCHD folder, and play it with any compatible video player (media player classic, VLC, KMplayer are the ones I use and they all work with this file).

I'm sure it's discouraging to not get feedback...

Yes, it is indeed, but then it's rewarding when feedbacks are coming... (^^,)
