Video Camera: Exporting Video and Burning it to DVD

The software for transfering the video from the camera to a DVD is located in the SSW computer lab in SSW B33. Computer #7 has the software for performing this task.

Transferring Video from Camera to DVD
  1. Log onto SSW-LAB7 in B33
  2. Place blank DVD-R into the DVD-RW drive (second drive from the top)
  3. Turn on Camera
  4. Open screen on camera
  5. Plug USB connector (light gray) into front of camera (show USB symbol)
  6. On Camera, choose “Playback on PC”
  7. This should automatically launch “PowerCinema NE for Everio”
  8. If not, open folder on desktop called “Additional Programs” and then open “PowerCinema NE for Everio”
  9. Select “Copy/Edit”
01
Select “EVERIO_HDD"
02
Check video(s) to be copied
Click on “Copy/Advanced Functions”

Note that the total size of “items selected” must be less than 4200.0 MB (<4.2GB)

Click on “Create Disc”

This will load the “Power Producer” Application, which will create the backup DVD.
Please be patient!  The program may seem to freeze, but this is not the case.  It is merely processing extremely large files.
Edit DVD using this screen (change titles, edit videos, etc)
When done, click on “next” left green arrow in the lower right hand corner
Title the disc up to 16 characters and make sure the current drive is set to “E: SONY…”
To create the disc, click “BURN” in the lower right hand corner

Please be patient during the burn process.  This will take some time.
Once the process is complete, you will arrive at the "Congratulations" screen.
When asked: "Do you want to save the current project?" choose "NO."

Congratulations! You have backed up your video. Be sure to test the DVD to make sure the video is accessible from the DVD.

 

Once you are sure of this, then delete the video from the Camera.
