Playing Recordings on Other DVD Players

Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs recorded in Video mode. A small number of players can also play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or not. Check the manual that came with the other player to check what kinds of discs it will play.

Finalizing a Disc

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or com- puter equipped with a suitable DVD-ROM drive. Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen for navigating the disc. This is accessed by pressing DISC MENU/LIST or TITLE. To finalize a disc, refer to Disc Finalizeon page 25.
