Playing Your Recordings on Other DVD Players (Finalizing a Disc)

Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs recorded in Video mode, finalized DVD+R or DVD+RWs. 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 formats of discs it will play.

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings and editings in place so that the disc can be played on a regular DVD player or computer equipped with a suitable DVD- ROM drive.

Finalizing a Video mode disc creates a menu screen for navigating the disc. The menu can be accessed by pressing MENU/LIST or TITLE.

To finalize a disc, refer to “Finalize” on page 23.

Notes:

Unfinalized DVD+RW is playable on regular DVD players.

The edited contents of a DVD+RW disc is compatible on regular DVD players only after finalization.

Any edited contents of the DVD+R disc are not compatible on regular DVD players. (Hide, chapter combine, added chapter mark, etc.)

How long finalization takes depends on the type of disc, how much is recorded on the disc, and the number of titles on the disc.

DVD+R DL disc can take up to 30 minutes to finalize.
