The chart below provides a general estimate of disc space (recordable time) available for recording videos
onto a disc for Sony devices.

HD (High Definition) discs (AVCHD format)

The recordable video length depends on the REC mode setting on the camera.

SD (Standard Definition) discs (USB connection or Memory card slot)

The recordable video length depends on the REC mode setting on the camera.

SD (Standard Definition) discs (DV IN, VIDEO IN or S VIDEO IN connector)

The recordable video length depends on the [Rec Quality] (REC mode ) setting on the DVDirect (page
66).
zHint
• When using DVD+R DL, it takes 1.8 times longer than the above time.
bNote
• You cannot record HD (High Definition) video taken in REC mode at a bit rate exceeding 18Mbps, such as in [HD FX]
mode (for example, High Definition Handycam®) in AVCHD format. For REC mode or bit rate, refer to the oper ating
instructions of your camera.
