Creating a DVD with One Touch
The kinds of DVD that you can use with the
supplied software are as listed below. The
DVDs you can use differ, depending on the
computer you use. For details on the DVDs
compatible with your computer, refer to the
operations manual supplied with your
computer. You may not be able to play back
some types of DVDs, depending on the
device you have. Refer to the specifications
of your playback equipment for additional
compatibility information.
• 8 cm DVDs are not supported.
• When saving data on a DVD+RW, the data is
recorded in VIDEO format. You cannot add
more data on the DVD+RW.
• Use a DVD produced by a reliable
manufacturer. You may not save images
correctly when using a low quality DVD.
You can save images recorded on the hard
disk of your camcorder on a DVD in your
computer by pressing DISC BURN button
on the Handycam Station (One Touch Disc
Burn function) without any complex
operations on your computer. The images
that have not yet been saved on a DVD with
One Touch Disc Burn can automatically be
saved on a DVD.
z Tips
• The image data previously saved on a DVD in
this operation cannot be saved again with the
same operation. To save data on a DVD again
after it has been saved previously, import the
images to a computer (p. 81). Then, save the
data on a DVD, following the instructions in
“Creating and copying a DVD” (p. 90).
• The history of each saved image is recorded
according to the user account. If you use a
different user account, the image that has
already been saved to a DVD is written to the
DVD again.
• If you cannot save all your image data on a
DVD, the data is automatically saved on more
than one DVD. The required number of DVDs
is displayed in step
7 on the screen.
• Still images are recorded first on a DVD. When
you save images on several DVDs, the still
images are recorded on the first DVD.
• The sound quality remains as it is when you
save a movie recorded in 5.1ch surround sound
on a DVD (DCR-SR200/SR300).
b Notes
• Still images on a DVD created with One Touch
Disc Burn function cannot be played back on a
DVD player. Play them back on a computer.
