Continuously getting the error message: "Could not create the disc (Invalid Format, The video file is not compatible with the selected disc format.)" every time I try and export my video into a AVCHD format.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3
Start by deleting FCP preferences. To delete preferences, hold down command and option while starting FCP X and click Delete Preferences. The application will start in a default state, and open an "Untitled" library. Reopen the library you were working on, set the preferences the way you like them, and try again.
If the problem persists:
Please give more details, including your OS version, FCP version, and information about your project and media.
Does your project export in other formats?

Does your project export in other formats?
Yeah, Absolutely. After I finished editing the entirety of the video file, I go to export and I choose Bluray/AVCHD (I am eventually wanting to burn it onto a blurry disc) it will start exporting and will get to about 70% done with "Sharing" and then just fails and I get that error message.
It's been the go-to troubleshooting first step for FCP for as long as I can remember. When FCP crashes or becomes unhappy about something, its preferences can be corrupted which in turn can cause the app to behave strangely. I don't know why FCP preferences are so brittle but it's an easy process to reset them.
Could you go through the steps you’re doing that produced this error and where it appears?
Rather than trying to burn the disc try the same process to see if it will create a disk image.
That worked great! Thanks so much! Just curious why would the applications preferences elicit such a problem?
Are you using a Bluray or Redray (DVD)disc?
Bluray discs will not create an AVCHD output.
The issue may well be something more complicated but just wanted to cover a basic. 😀
