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 or TITLE. To finalize a disc, refer to “DISC Finalize” on page 25.
