Canon Vixia HF R52 camcorder/blu ray recorder/direct connection?

Question

I just bought a Canon Vixia HF R52 camcorder and would like to connect it directly to a blu ray/DVD recorder to burn discs without using a computer.  In the Manual, Canon says it is possible and even sent me an email stating "The camcorder is compatible with any blu ray disc recorder that supports AVCHD version 2.0"  Unfortunately, Best Buy Geek Squad is clueless and Canon ABSOLUTELY REFUSES to recommend/suggest what brand/model recorder I need.  (I had a Panasonic camcorder that finally died on me and Panasonic had its own DVD burner for it.)  Any help out there?  Anyone burning discs directly from your Canon camcorder?  THANKS!

First,  ensure that you have the latest version of Quicktime from Apple.com
on your  system.
Then ensure that, when you started your project, you  chose the settings
for a Full AVCHD 1920x1080 video project. You'll know if  you've selected the
right settings for your project because, when you add the  video to your
timeline, there will NOT be a red line above the clips until you  add effects
or transitions to them.
Is that the case in your  situation?
Did you use Premiere Elements' Video Importer to get  the video from the
camcorder to your computer? You should. It's located under  Get Media/From
Flip, AVCHD and Hard Disk Cameras.
If, with  everything set up right, you're still having problems, it could
be that your  computer isn't powerful enough to work with AVCHD. Most people
successfully  editing AVCHD have quad-core or i7 processors.
How fast is your  processor and how much RAM do you have? Have you cleared
and defragmented your  hard drive  recently?
