bSaving Movies onto Standard-Definition Discs (DVD)

You can convert your high-definition video recordings into standard definition in the camcorder and then use the supplied software Image- Mixer 3 SE to save the converted scenes and burn them onto standard DVDs in your computer. 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.
