An error message appears when trying to burn a disc with the PlayMemories Home software.

Cannot detect a drive to write to.

Some DVD or Blu-ray Disc® drives equipped on a computer offer disc playback without the ability to write to discs. Also, in some cases, this may be solved by updating the drivers of the DVD or the Blu-ray Disc drive to the latest version. For details, please contact the computer manufacturer.

Some of the selected media files will not be written to the disc because they are in file formats that are not supported.

• For AVCHD or Blu-ray Disc creation, use files with MTS or M2TS extensions.
