About Memory Stick media 

Memory Stick

®

 media are a compact, portable, and versatile data storage media designed for exchanging and sharing digital

data with compatible devices. You can store different data formats on a single Memory Stick media. The following types of
Memory Stick media are available, but compatibility with your computer can vary. 

MagicGate   Memory Stick media — Provides copyright protection with authentication and encryption, using Sony

®

MagicGate technology. Authentication ensures that protected content is only transferred between compliant devices
and media. Protected content can be recorded and transferred in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized
duplication or playback. 

Memory Stick PRO   media — Provides MagicGate copyright protection and high-speed transfer features when used
with compatible Memory Stick PRO devices. VAIO

®

 computers support Memory Stick PRO media for data storage

purposes only. Currently, MagicGate technology features, such as authentication and encryption, are not available. 

Memory Stick media — Provides data storage only. The Memory Stick media does not provide MagicGate technology
or high-speed data transfer. 

Currently, Sony

®

 SonicStage

®

 and OpenMG   software are not compatible with Memory Stick PRO media. Sony suggests

using only MagicGate Memory Stick media to store and transfer any data created with SonicStage or OpenMG software. 

Visit the Sony Computing Support Web site at 

http://www.sony.com/pcsupport

 regularly for the latest information on

Memory Stick PRO media. 

  

 Memory Stick media do not support video file playback directly from the media. Copy the video file to your hard disk

drive and then play back the file.
