Make the most of your movies on your PC.
The movies you shoot can be exported to your PC, where supplied software simplifies management, browsing, editing, file conversion, burning and more!
Picture Motion Browser image management software
Install bundled Picture Motion Browser software on your PC to enjoy all sorts of handy features. You can import video footage from your Handycam® camcorder and DVDs, as well as burn DVD videos and AVCHD format discs. Easy management of movies and still images is yours thanks to automatic organisation by calendar view or folder. Thumbnails make searching and browsing a cinch. An editing feature lets you trim off unwanted segments of your movies. And you can convert your movie files to common MPEG2 (SD) video and audio formats for easy sharing and playback on other AV equipment.
Handycam Utility
This utility opens a window on the screen of your PC* once you connect the Handycam Station bundled with HDR-CX7E to your PC via USB cable or insert Memory Stick media into the Memory Stick slot on your PC. Icons on the streamlined interface let you select one of four operations — Easy PC Back-up, Media File Import, One Touch Disc Burn, or Playlist Disc Creation — with a single click. If you select Easy PC Back-up, for example, options then appear to let you define the destination folder and the range of files to copy from the camcorder to your PC. Within that range, the utility only copies files that have not previously been copied to your PC.
* If the Handycam Utility operating window does not automatically appear, please click [Start], [All programs], [Sony Picture Utility], [Handycam tool], [Handycam Utility] in that order.
HDD Handycam Utility
Once you’ve burned a DVD of your HD home movie in AVCHD format, you can enjoy watching it on your PC*. Just insert the disc in your PC, launch the bundled Player for AVCHD software, and click a thumbnail. The movie will play back at high resolution and will cover the entire PC screen.
* Smooth playback of AVCHD format movies requires certain PC specifications.
Video Disc Copier
This bundled utility lets you copy AVCHD format discs and DVD discs. When making copies of AVCHD format discs on DVD discs, you can choose to convert AVCHD to a DVD video format that can be played on DVD players.
