AVCHD is supported by most blu-ray players, but not all. Also AVCHD is mostly used in camcorders and so forth. AVCHD files tend to be much larger in size, but the quality difference between the two are slim and barely noticeable at all. If I'm not mistaken, AVCHD is a encoding format and blu-ray is a storage medium format. AVCHD is usually stored in MPEG-4/h.264, while blu-ray usually comes in either MPEG-2/h.264 or MPEG-4 AVC.
There are three main differences about the two:
1) Bitrate - 18 Mbps for AVCHD or BD-5/BD-9 disk. 40 Mbps for Blu-Ray disk.
2) Data size - 40 - 90 min for AVCHD or BD-5/BD-9 disk. 2 - 4 times as much for Blu-Ray disk.
3) Compatibility - More compatibility for Blu-Ray than AVCHD or BD-5/BD-9 disk.

If you burn avchd file onto DVD, then it will be playable on most of Blu-ray players.
a blu-ray file is in BDAV format, M2TS codec, and if your media player has proper codec pack for HD videos, then they are mostly playable too.
But play both AVCHD and BDAV video need resource consuming process.
