The BDAV container contains videos recorded using AVCHD camcorders, such as Sony's HDR-SR(xx) series models. Compared to Blu-ray Disc format, AVCHD can use various storage media, such as DVD media, memory cards or hard disk drives. AVCHD is a simpler form of the Blu-ray Disc standard with just one video encoding algorithm and two audio encodings. m2ts is also used in AVCHD format, which is a high definition digital video camera recorder format.

The standard MPEG-2 TS 188-byte packet is prefixed with a 4-byte extra header to a total size of 192 bytes. To be able to reconstruct a T-STD compliant constant rate Transport Stream for playback the arrival timestamp (ATS) of each packet needs to be recorded. In order to optimize the storage size, the format uses variable rate (VBR) Transport Streams instead of the typical constant rates (CBR) found in MPEG-2 TS broadcast. The BDAV container format is a modification of MPEG-2 transport stream (ITU-T H.222.0 | ISO/ IEC 13818-1) specification for random-access media, such as Blu-ray Disc, DVD, hard drives or solid-state memory cards.
