Hints on importing videos

For details on the basic operations of importing videos, refer to the “PMB Guide” supplied with the software (“PMB Guide”).

• Using the [CONNECTGUIDE] function, you can set up your camcorder. Follow the instructions provided by the [CONNECTGUIDE] function on the LCD screen of your camcorder.
• The menu settings of the camcorder are required even if you use commercial editing software.
• If the HDV format videos you want to import are not recognized by a commercial editing software, the software may not support the HDV format. Convert the HDV format videos to DV format, and then import them.
• A tape recorded in the DV format cannot be copied in the HDV format to a computer.
• Pictures recorded in the HDV format are not output from the HDV/DV Interface (i.LINK) jack during playback pause or in any playback mode other than normal playback.
• If the [Import from Tape] window is not displayed, click [Start] - [All Programs] - [Sony Picture Utility] - [Import Media Files]- [Handycam (Tape)].
