	Most of today’s personal computers are already capable of editing normal secure digital (SD) quality videos. For example, if you use a movie making software integrated with the basic OS, you can easily cut off parts you don’t need, switch out portions of videos, caption videos, add BGM and other sounds. You can create original work and personalize it in great detail. However, if you wished to do all this with high-definition videos, until recently, it costs a small fortune----enough to buy a new car. On the other hand, when you go to the local kindergarten and elementary school sports festivals, you see many parents with movie cameras that support high-definition recording, which makes you realize that high-definition is already the norm. There must be tons of high-definition video files simply recorded and left unsaved. Even for heavy computer users, the only way to edit home videos was using camera functions or copying the videos onto recorders for simple editing until detailed editing became available via computer software. Nowadays, PC-related technologies, notably CPUs and graphics chips, have improved in performance and gone down in price, so users building their own PCs are able to embed implementations on low-cost computers that allow them to edit videos recorded with high-definition consumer cameras just as easily as with SD quality videos. There is also a wide selection of editing software, from high-end to reasonable, that supports high-definition videos. In the near future, it may become a popular trend to copy high-definition home videos to PCs in order to edit them into a piece of work for saving to blu-ray disks for distribution to family and friends. A number of BD drive section members have small kids, and before the blu-ray disks came out, they were editing SD videos on their computers, burning them on their DVD drives for distribution to their relatives. However, the situation changes acutely when they replace their movie cameras with high-definition models. Although their PCs do not have the specs to edit the videos, they still prefer to record in high-definition so as not to waste their kids’ unforgettable moments. They intend to edit them some time later, but time ends up passing without that happening, and instead files accumulate. Then finally, the age of casual video editing at home dawned. From the end of 2010, we might see more parents enjoying editing high-definition videos of their children on their home computers, adding sound effects, and distributing BDs to people close to them. Some of Pioneer’s BD development team members are such parents. All members are dedicated to ensuring BD drive performance that supports the enjoyment of watching such gift disks. We share the goal of minimizing the possibility of not being able to read or play blu-ray disks that have been properly burned. We aspire to continue creating drives that enable higher precision writing. If you are interested in editing high-definition videos on your computer, we recommend using a PC that has the specifications required for high-definition video editing software and a Pioneer BD-R drive. We have released information on supported media, essential to high-precision BD recording, as reference material so that you can select suitable disks.
