Archiving AVCHD™ video
AVCHD Archive is a great way to back up the high quality video shot with
your AVCHD camcorder.
This simple task assistant saves video from an AVCHD recorder onto DVD
or Blu-ray™ discs. There’s no reformatting or transcoding. Your discs will
contain the same high definition video as your camera and can be used to
add content to your video projects.
To transfer AVCHD video:
1 Connect your AVCHD camera to your computer using the cable
supplied with the camera.
2 Turn the camera on and set it to the correct mode to play back saved
video. For more information, check the documentation for your
camera.
3 Use Roxio Home to launch AVCHD Archive. From Roxio Home, click
the Video - Movies project tab, then click Archive AVCHD Video.
The main window of AVCHD Archive has a From box on the left that
you use to select and preview your source material. On the right is a To
box with a drop-down menu you use to select a DVD or Blu-ray Disc
burner.
4 Click on the From drop-down list and select your AVCHD camera.
You can also choose to copy AVCHD content stored on a hard disk.
The source material is listed in the From box, based on the playlist
found in your AVCHD camcorder or folder.
5 Select the check box beside each movie you want to copy. To select all
the movies at once, click Select All.
6 Optional: To preview a movie, click its title or thumbnail image, and
click Preview.
7 Place a blank DVD or Blu-ray disc in the disc drive you plan to use for
this project. (You can use a rewritable disc that already contains
content, but the disc will be erased before your new video files are
archived.)
