Creating a disc of movies You can create a disc from AVCHD View movies that have been recorded with this camera. Depending on the disc type, playable devices may vary. Select the method that suits your disc player. Here, two ways of creating a disc of movies are described; creating a disc with a computer using "PMB" or creating a disc with devices other than a computer such as a DVD writer. Player Disc type Feature Blu-ray Disc playback devices (Blu-ray Disc player, PlayStation®3, etc.) Using a Blu-ray Disc enables you to record high-definition image quality (HD) movies of a longer duration than DVD discs. AVCHD format playback devices (Sony Blu-ray Disc player, PlayStation®3, etc.) High-definition image quality (HD) movies can be recorded on DVD media, such as DVD-R discs, and a highdefinition image quality (HD) disc is created. You cannot play a high-definition image quality (HD) disc on ordinary DVD players. Ordinary DVD playback devices (DVD player, computer that can play DVDs, etc.) Standard definition image quality (STD) movies converted from high-definition image quality (HD) movies can be recorded on DVD media, such as DVD-R discs, and a standard definition image quality (STD) disc is created. x Creating a disc using a computer You can import AVCHD View movies to a computer using "PMB" and create an AVCHD format disc or a standard definition image quality (STD) disc. For details on the method for creating a disc using "PMB," see "PMB Help." Notes • To create a Blu-ray Disc, be sure to install [BD Add-on Software] from the "PMB" installation screen. • The PlayStation®3 may not be available in some countries/regions. • Movies recorded with the [60p 28M(PS)/50p 28M(PS)] setting in [Record Setting] GB are converted by "PMB" in order to create a disc. This conversion can take a long 68 time. Also, you cannot create a disc with the original image quality.
