Saving Movies onto Standard-Definition Discs (DVD)
You can use the supplied PIXELA’s
VideoBrowser*
to save your movies
onto standard DVDs (DVD-Video standard). These are ideal for sharing
your videos with family and friends since, unlike AVCHD or Blu-ray
discs, standard DVDs can be played back on most DVD players and
computers’ DVD drives. Your computer must be equipped with a DVD
burner to create a standard DVD. Install the supplied software before
performing this procedure.
If you are using a commercially available DVD recorder or similar
device to create standard-definition discs, you will need to copy your
recordings to the device (
