1. There is a huge difference. High definition has a resolution of 1920x1080, while SD is just 640x480. If you want to get it down to a reasonable size for playback on a DVD the you need a video editing program that can handle AVCHD and convert it to a lower resolution MPEG. if you just want to get it on a DVD without editing then Nero Vision would be good for you, it can convert it to a format that can be played back on a DVD player(MPEG-2)
