Using the Smart Wizard
Copy the motion pictures recorded with the video camera to the disc in “High-definition quality” or “Standard quality”. The motion pictures are
recorded in order of recording date.
Automatic multi-disc copying
When the motion picture exceeds the capacity of one disc, it is automatically divided for copying over multiple discs. The motion picture is
automatically divided so that the final scene fits on the disc.
When copying in standard quality, the content is also divided automatically even when the number of items that group scenes exceeds 99.
When the file system of the hard disk that is set as the work area is FAT32, and if the total size of the motion picture thumbnails that are
grouped together is larger than 4 GB, the data cannot be copied to the disc. ([Work area setting]

When creating media of relay recorded motion pictures continuously
recorded on different memory (e.g. built-in memory and SD cards)
with compliant video cameras, only selected motion pictures in the
memory are copied.

Motion pictures recorded in 1080/60p or 1080/50p format are
converted to AVCHD format or MPEG2 format before being copied to
the disc.

Motion pictures recorded in MP4/iFrame format are converted to
MPEG2 format before being copied to the disc.

Discs created in standard quality are for playback only. Additional
