Selecting the method for creating a disc of movies
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 “PMB” in order to create an AVCHD 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.
To play back movies recorded with the [60p 28M(PS)]/[50p 28M(PS)] setting on a
Blu-ray disc, the device that is compatible with the AVCHD Ver 2.0 format is required.
“AVCHD View movies” are movies that were recorded in the [AVCHD 60i/60p]/
[AVCHD 50i/50p] mode of [File Format].

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.

Notes
For details on how to create a disc, refer to the operating instructions of the device

If you create a disc using Sony DVDirect (DVD Writer), use the memory card slot of
the DVD Writer or connect the DVD Writer via USB connection to transfer the data.
