Recording Additional Movies on a Finalized Disc

You can unfinalize a disc to allow recording additional scenes after it was finalized.

E

 

This option is only available with DVD-RW discs in VIDEO mode.

 

 

Be sure to unfinalize the disc in normal room temperatures. If the procedure was not completed correctly due to high temperature, let the camcorder cool before resuming operation.

Place the camcorder on a table or other stable surface before starting the procedure. Subjecting the camcorder even to slight impacts (for example to place it on a table or to disconnect the AV cable) after you select the menu option may result in permanent data loss.

When unfinalizing a disc, always power the camcorder using the compact power adapter. The unfinalization process cannot be started if the camcorder is powered only with the battery pack.

Do not disconnect the power adapter while the disc unfinalization is in progress. Doing so can interrupt the process and result in a disc that cannot be recognized.

Only discs that were finalized using this camcorder can be unfinalized with this camcorder.
