Uploading Movies to Video Sharing Web Sites
You can convert your high-definition video recordings into standard
definition in order to upload them to your favorite video sharing Web
site.
If you are using an Eye-Fi card, after converting your video recordings
into standard definition scenes you can upload your movies wirelessly,
directly from the camcorder. Refer to Eye-Fi’s homepage for the latest
information on compatible Web sites.
You can complete the conversion to standard definition in the cam-
corder and then use the supplied software
ImageMixer 3 SE
to upload
your videos to the Web.

appear.
Connect the camcorder to the computer at this point (

continue uploading the converted videos to the Web or touch [End
Without Connecting] to connect to the computer later.
To embed the recording date and time
The recording date and time will always be displayed on the converted
scene.
To select the bit rate
Using a higher bit rate will result in better video quality for the con-
verted scenes, while a lower bit rate will result in smaller file sizes and
faster uploads.

Instead of steps 4 and 5 above, touch on the scene you want to con-
vert to start playing it back. Pause the playback at the point where you
want the conversion to begin and continue with step 6.

• When converting scenes in the [Playlist]:
- All the scenes are merged into one converted scene.
- If the converted scene is too large, it will be split into smaller 10-
minute long scenes.
- When converting only part of a scene, the maximum length of the
converted scene will be 10 minutes from the starting (playback pause)
point.
- The playlist cannot be converted when its total playback time exceeds
2 hours and 30 minutes.
• The time required to convert scenes is approximately equal to the total
playback time of the converted scenes. In most cases this is still faster
than converting the scenes in the computer so we recommend you
convert scenes in the camcorder.

the conversion described in the previous section, start this procedure
from step 3 below. Otherwise, start this procedure from the beginning.
