Creating a movie disc
You can create a disc from AVCHD View movies recorded on the camera.
• Movies recorded with the [60p 28M(PS)]/[50p 28M(PS)], [60i  24M(FX)]/[50i 24M(FX)] or [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 (page 180).
You can create a high definition imag e quality (HD) AVCHD format disc 
from AVCHD View movies imported to a computer using the supplied 
software “PMB.”
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.
Playing back AVCHD format disc on a computer
You can play back AVCHD format di scs using “Player for AVCHD” that 
is installed together with “PMB.”
To start the software, click on [Start]  t [All Programs] t [PMB]  t 
[PMB Launcher]  t [View]  t [Player for AVCHD].
For detailed operations, see the Help for “Player for AVCHD.”
Note Movies may not be played smoothly de pending on the computer environment.
Creating an AVCHD format disc
1Select the AVCHD View movies you want to write on “PMB.”
2Click   (Create Discs) to select [Create AVCHD Format Discs

The screen used for creating a disc appears.
 For details, see “PMB Help.”

Creating a movie disc
Creating a Blu-ray disc
You can create a Blu-ray disc with AVCHD View movies previously 
imported to a computer. Your computer must support the creation of Blu-
ray discs.
BD-R (non-rewritable) and BD-RE (rewr itable) media can be used to create 
Blu-ray discs. You cannot add contents to either type of disc once it has 
been created.
Click [BD Add-on Software] on the in stallation screen of “PMB,” and 
install this plug-in according to  the on-screen instructions.
Connect your computer to the Internet when you install [BD Add-on 
Software].
See “PMB Help” for details.
Note When movies recorded with the [60p 28 M(PS)]/[50p 28M(PS)] setting are copied to 
a Blu-ray disc using “PMB,” those movies can  be played back only on devices that 
are compatible with the AVCHD Ver 2.0 format.
You can create a standard definiti on image quality (STD) disc from 
AVCHD View movies imported to a  computer using supplied software 
“PMB.”
Notes Install “PMB” beforehand.
 MP4 movie files cannot be recorded on a disc.
 It will take a longer time to create a disc because AVCHD View movies are 
converted to standard definitio n image quality (STD) movies.
 An Internet connection environment is  required when creating a DVD-Video (STD) 
disc for the first time.
Creating a standard definition image quality (STD) disc
1Select the AVCHD View movies  you want to write on “PMB.”
2Click   (Create Discs) to select [Create DVD-Video Format 
Discs (STD)].
