Writing to a memory card or Blu-ray Disc/DVD
Tips
●
Format in UDF 2.0 format is not supported. If a disc is used in an
ordinary DVD recorder, it must be formatted in UDF 2.0 format with
the format tool on the DVD drive. (For the operation method, refer to
the operating instructions for the drive.)
●
Memory cards must be formatted with the digital camera that this
software supports.
●
Only discs that can be used with this software can be formatted.
(However, it is impossible to format a DVD-R.)
●
For a double sided disc, format one side first and then format the
other side.
●
In Windows XP, the page may take some time to refresh if DVD-RAM
driver software is not installed.
