• DVD: DVD (view page 61) offers good video quality w
ith comparatively little
data. This format can be burned to DVD blanks and played back with
conventional DVD players.
• Blu-ray: Blu-ray disc is also suitable for high-quality videos, but instead of
MPEG-4 codecs uses the older MPEG-2 codec. This format may be burned only
to blank Blu-ray discs (view page 63).
• AVCHD: A
VC (also H.264) stands for Advanced Video Codec, and the
abbreviation HD for High Definition, and is a component of the extremely high
quality, but very computationally-demanding MPEG-4 -codec. Depending on
length and quality, video footage can be burned to conventional DVD discs or a
Blu-ray disc (view page 62).
Note: This format can be played back exclusively on Blu-ray players, even if a DVD
blank is used. Please check whether your player is capable of playing these "AVCHD
DVDs".
