Disc Finalize
Finalizing ‘fixes’the recordings 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. This is accessed by pressing
LIST/DISC MENU or TITLE.
Caution
Once you have finalized a DVD-R and DVD+R
disc, you cannot edit or record anything else on
that disc except DVD+RW. However, you can
record and edit a DVD-RW disc by choosing
