Cheers for the detailed replies!
Is it possible to burn it in the standard DVD structure?I'm assuming I'd need to convert the .m2ts file as well
First, if you were to do that, you might as well start with the MKV instead since the AVCHD is sourced from it, meaning you'd likely have fewer resulting compression artifacts if you did.
Second, why would you want to? You do know that you can buy a good bluray player for about 50 bucks, don't you? (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F6B3ULE) It really is worth it to have a set top video player that can handle higher than a 640×480 resolution.
EDIT: Although actually... There /is/ a DVD5 version of v2.0 available. It makes me think someone else might actually make a DVD5 version for v2.5 and seed it if you really wanted it that badly.
That someone not being me. =\ I do have ConvertXtoDVD but I don't have the MKV anymore. Unless, that is, someone more knowledgeable about video encoding than me feels obliged to correct me by saying that it wouldn't matter much using the AVCHD to source a DVD5 from?
