Selecting the method for creating a disc of movies
For details on the method for creating a disc using “PlayMemories Home,” 
see “PlayMemories Home Help Guide.”
Notes
• To create Blu-ray discs with “PlayMemories Home,” you have to install proprietary
add-on software. For details, access following URL:
http://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/BDUW/
• The PlayStation®3 may not be available in some countries/regions.
• Movies recorded with the [60p 28M(PS)]/[50p 28M(PS)], [60i 24M(FX)]/[50i 
24M(FX)] or [24p 24M(FX)]/[25p 24M(FX)] setting in [Record Setting] are 
converted by “PlayMemories Home” in order to create an AVCHD recording disc. 
This conversion can take a long time. Also, you cannot create a disc with the original 
image quality. If you want to keep the original image quality, you must store your 
movies on a Blu-ray disc (page 183).
• To play back movies recorded with the [60p 28M(PS)]/[50p 28M(PS)] setting on a
Blu-ray disc, a device compatible with the AVCHD Ver 2.0 format is required.
You can create a disc with a Blu-ray disc recorder and DVD writer.
The disc type you can create depends on the device used.
