z Tips
• To copy HDV format images as they are
without changing their format, an HDV
compatible environment is required.
For details, refer to your software instruction
manual or contact the software manufacturer.
• To play movies by a regular DVD player, you
need to create DVD video in the SD format. The
DVD video is not in the HDV format.

then to your camcorder. Connecting in the
