Finalising a DVD+R disc

While a DVD+RW disc can be played instantly on most DVD players, a DVD+R disc can be played only on the DVD recorder until it is finalised. After finalisation no changes can be made to the disc anymore.

•In the Disc Info Screen press u (right cursor). ‰ You will now enter the ‘disc settings’ menu.

•Select ‘Finalise disc’ and press OK to confirm. ‰ ‘Finalising disc’ is shown until the action is

completed.

‰After finalisation the Index Picture Screen will appear.

If the DVD+R disc was recorded on a different brand of DVD recorder you may not be able to access the Disc Settings screen. In this case you can use the ‘Finalise disc’ option in the features menu of the user preferences menu.

Making your edits DVD-compatible

If one or more titles have been edited (see ‘Favourite Scene Selection’), then the edits will play on your DVD recorder, but a DVD player may show the original versions instead of the edits. You can prepare your DVD+RW discs so that also a DVD player will show the edited version. This is not possible with DVD+R discs.

•If the Disc Settings menu shows the option ‘Make edits DVD-compatible’, select this option. If the menu does not show this option, then your DVD+RW disc is already compatible, and no conversion is needed.
