OUTPUT TO DISC OR MEMORY CARD
Studio can output movies directly onto DVD and Blu-ray discs, if
the requisite disc-burning hardware is available on your system.
Whether or not you have a disc burner, Studio can also create a ‘disc
image’ – a set of files containing the same information as would be
stored onto the disc – in a directory on your hard drive. The image
can subsequently be burned onto a disc or transferred to a flash
memory card.
DVD and Blu-ray
If your system has a DVD burner, Studio can create two types of
DVD disc: standard (for DVD players) and AVCHD format (for
Blu-ray players).
If your system has a Blu-ray recorder, you can record onto any
recordable media supported by the device.
Your standard DVD discs can be played back:
•
On any DVD player that can handle the recordable DVD format
your burner creates. Most players can handle the common
formats.
•
On a computer with a DVD drive and suitable playback software.
•
On any HD DVD player.
Your Blu-ray disc, or DVD disc in AVCHD format can be
played back:
•
On the Panasonic DMP-BD10, the PlayStation 3, and other Blu-
ray players (not all players support the AVCHD format, but most
do).
•
On a computer with a Blu-ray drive and suitable playback
software.
