The memory capacity of a standard-definition movie (MPEG2) after conversion differs depending on the length of the movie or the bit rate selected when converting.
For example, the approximate memory capacities after converting an one-hour movie to standard definition are as follows.
Approximate memory capacity after converting an one-hour movie to standard definition
| Recording Mode | Memory capacity in high definition (before conversion) | Memory capacity in standard　definition (after conversion) | |
| 9Mbps | 3Mbps | ||
| MXP (24Mbps) | 12GB | 4.2GB | 2.0GBÂ |
| FXP (17Mbps) | 8GB | ||
| XP+ (12Mbps) | 6GB | ||
| SP (7Mbps) | 3.5GB | ||
| LP (5Mbps) | 2.7GB | ||
* If a high-definition movie recorded in SP or LP mode is converted at 9 Mbps, the memory capacity after conversion will become larger.
NOTE
- The approximate memory capacity after converting a three-hour movie to standard definition is three times the values shown in the above chart.
- The memory capacity per hour varies depending on the scene. Therefore, we recommend that you prepare an SD memory card that is about 1.5 times larger than the approximate memory capacity.
To convert to a standard-definition movie, scenes are copied from the built-in memory to memory card B, or from memory card A to memory card B. Therefore, it is necessary to have an SD memory card in the card slot B of the camcorder.
When converting, you can check the memory capacity after conversion by referring to the information that appears on the camcorder’s LCD screen.
Please see the Instruction Manual that is supplied with your camcorder for the conversion procedures.
