Creating a movie disc
Creating a Blu-ray disc
You can create a Blu-ray disc with AVCHD movies previously imported to
a computer. Your computer must support the creation of Blu-ray discs.
BD-R (non-rewritable) and BD-RE (rewritable) media can be used to create
Blu-ray discs. You cannot add contents to either type of disc once it has
been created.
To create Blu-ray discs with “PlayMemories Home,” you have to install
proprietary add-on software. For details, access the following URL:

An Internet connection environment is required to install the software.
See “PlayMemories Home Help Guide” for details.
Note
• When movies recorded with the [60p 28M(PS)]/[50p 28M(PS)] setting are copied to
a Blu-ray disc using “PlayMemories Home,” those movies can be played back only
on devices that are compatible with the AVCHD Ver 2.0 format.
Notes
• Install “PlayMemories Home” beforehand.
• MP4 movie files cannot be recorded on a disc.
• It will take a longer time to create a disc because AVCHD movies are converted to
standard definition image quality (STD) movies.
Creating a standard definition image quality (STD) disc
1 Start up [PlayMemories Home] and click (Create Discs).
2 Select [DVD-Video (STD)] from the drop-down list used for
selecting a disc.
3 Select the AVCHD movies you want to write.
4 Click [Add].
• You can also add movies by a drag and drop operation.
5 Create the disc following the instruction on the screen.
