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.
• Movies recorded with the [60p 28M(PS)/50p 28M(PS)]/[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.
