Creating an AVCHD format disc on a computer
You can create a high definition image quality (HD) AVCHD format disc from AVCHD
View movies imported to a computer using the supplied software "PMB."
1 Turn on your computer and place an empty disc on the DVD drive.
2 Start "PMB."
3 Select the AVCHD View movies you want to write.
4 Click
(Disc Creation) to select [Create AVCHD Format Discs (HD)].
5 Follow the instructions on the screen to create a disc.
Notes
• Install "PMB" beforehand.
• Still images and MP4 movie files cannot be recorded on the AVCHD format disc.
• It may take a long time to create a disc.
• "AVCHD View movies" are movies that were recorded in the [AVCHD 60i/60p] or [AVCHD 50i/50p]
mode of [File Format].
• Movies recorded with the [60p 28M (PS)/50p 28M (PS)] setting in [Record Setting] are converted by
"PMB" in order to create a disc. This conversion can take a long time. Also, you cannot create a disc with
the original image quality.
• Movies recorded with the [60i 24M (FX)/50i 24M (FX)]/[24p 24M (FX)/25p 24M (FX)] setting in
[Record Setting] are converted by "PMB" in order to create an AVCHD disc. This conversion can take a
long time. Also, you cannot create a disc with the original image quality. If you want to keep the original
image quality, you must store your movies on a Blu-ray Disc.
