126 Roxio Creator User Guide www.roxio.com Archiving AVCHD™ video AVCHD Archive is a great way to back up the high quality video shot with your AVCHD camcorder. This simple task assistant saves video from an AVCHD recorder onto DVD or Blu-ray™ discs. There's no reformatting or transcoding. Your discs will contain the same high definition video as your camera and can be used to add content to your video projects. To transfer AVCHD video: 1 Connect your AVCHD camera to your computer using the cable supplied with the camera. 2 Turn the camera on and set it to the correct mode to play back saved video. For more information, check the documentation for your camera. 3 Use Roxio Home to launch AVCHD Archive. From Roxio Home, click the Video - Movies project tab, then click Archive AVCHD Video. The main window of AVCHD Archive has a From box on the left that you use to select and preview your source material. On the right is a To box with a drop-down menu you use to select a DVD or Blu-ray Disc burner. 4 Click on the From drop-down list and select your AVCHD camera. You can also choose to copy AVCHD content stored on a hard disk. The source material is listed in the From box, based on the playlist found in your AVCHD camcorder or folder. 5 Select the check box beside each movie you want to copy. To select all the movies at once, click Select All. 6 Optional: To preview a movie, click its title or thumbnail image, and click Preview. 7 Place a blank DVD or Blu-ray disc in the disc drive you plan to use for this project. (You can use a rewritable disc that already contains content, but the disc will be erased before your new video files are archived.)
