Selecting the method for 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, 2 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.
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.”
