Table of contents Sample photo Menu Creating an AVCHD format disc on a computer You can create a high definition image quality (HD) AVCHD format disc from AVCHD View movies imported to a computer using the supplied software "PMB." 1 Turn on your computer and place an empty disc on the DVD drive. 2 Start "PMB." 3 Select the AVCHD View movies you want to write. 4 Click (Disc Creation) to select [Create AVCHD Format Discs (HD)]. 5 Follow the instructions on the screen to create a disc. Notes • Install "PMB" beforehand. • Still images and MP4 movie files cannot be recorded on the AVCHD format disc. • It may take a long time to create a disc. • "AVCHD View movies" are movies that were recorded in the [AVCHD 60i/60p] or [AVCHD 50i/50p] mode of [File Format]. • Movies recorded with the [60p 28M (PS)/50p 28M (PS)] setting in [Record Setting] are converted by "PMB" in order to create a disc. This conversion can take a long time. Also, you cannot create a disc with the original image quality. • Movies recorded with the [60i 24M (FX)/50i 24M (FX)]/[24p 24M (FX)/25p 24M (FX)] setting in [Record Setting] are converted by "PMB" in order to create an AVCHD disc. This conversion can take a long time. Also, you cannot create a disc with the original image quality. If you want to keep the original image quality, you must store your movies on a Blu-ray Disc. z Playing AVCHD format disc on a computer You can play back AVCHD format discs using "Player for AVCHD" that is installed together with "PMB." To start the software, click on [Start] t [All Programs] t [PMB] t [PMB Launcher] t [View] t [Player for AVCHD]. For detailed operations, see the Help for "Player for AVCHD." • Movies may not be played smoothly depending on the computer environment. Creating a Blu-ray Disc You can create a Blu-ray Disc with AVCHD View movies previously imported to a computer. Your computer must support the creation of a Blu-ray Disc. BD-R (non-rewritable) and BD-RE (rewritable) media can be used to create a Blu-ray Disc. You cannot add contents to either type of disc once it has been created. Click [BD Add-on Software] on the installation screen of "PMB," and install this plug-in according to the on-screen instructions.
