I have a Canon HF100 AVCHD camera and a C2D MacBook Pro. Using Toast 9 can you transfer the AVCHD files directly from the SD card to a DVD-R DL for playing back on a PS3 or Bluray player without having to go through AIC transcoding? If so, do the clips play seamlessly or are there stop gaps between each? Secondly, can you take the edited iMovie and burn it in 1080i through Toast (if so, how)?

Yes, you can use Toast to transfer AVCHD files to a (data) DVD. But I don't think the PS3 or other BluRay players will play AVCHD; being able to play some H.264 files doesn't imply they know how to handle the AVCHD structure (or bitrates).

Back to the question... with Toast 9 can you transfer the AVCHD files directly from the SD card to a DVD for playing back on a PS3 or Bluray player ?

My goal is: To burn the AVCHD video(in 1080p format) on DVD-R or DVD+R and play them back on a blu-ray player
Following is my configuration:
Toast 9.0.2 + HD/BD plug-in
Lastest MacBook with 2GB RAM
Sony BDP-S350 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player
AVCHD video taken by a Canon HF100 HD camcorder
By reading the menu, it seems that Toast9 + HD/BD plug-in will do what I want to. But I can not get it working. Any insight or advice will be welcomed.
Following are what I have tried:
1. Drag a BDMV folder from a SD card or a hard-disk to Toast 9's video area when the "BDMV Folder" is highlighted. Then, on the right-side-bottom, I select DVD as the media, and hit the RED button to record. Recording finished without any error message, but the DVD disc can not playback on my blu-ray player. I only see a blank screen.
2. Drag the .MTS files inside the BDMV folder from a SD card or a hard-disk to Toast 9's video area when the "Blu-ray Video" is highlighted. Then, on the right-side-bottom, I select DVD as the media, and hit the RED button to record. Recording finished without any error message, but the DVD disc can not playback on my blu-ray player. I only see a blank screen.
3. Convert the .MTS files to .MOV files first, because I want to de-couple the videos from my Canon camcorder's output first (just in case the .MTS files contain somethings that are non-standard). Drag the .MOV files to Toast 9's video area when the "Blu-ray Video" is highlighted. Then, on the right-side-bottom, I select DVD as the media, and hit the RED button to record. Recording finished without any error message, but the DVD disc can not playback on my blu-ray player. I only see a blank screen. (This procedure takes much more time than #1 and #2)
BTW; I can burn these AVCHD videos to a regular DVD (video) in Standard-Definition format, and play it back without problem; but they are not in HD resolution.
By reading some discussions here, it seems someone already got it working. Will my Sony-350 blu-ray be the problem.
