Finalizing a disc

DVD (VR) DVD (Video) DVD+R DVD+RW

Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings on the disc so that it can be played on a regular DVD player or computer equipped with a suitable

DVD-ROM drive.1

Note that the disc name will appear in the title menu after you finalize a disc. Make sure the disc name is as you want it before you finalize the disc as it can’t be changed afterwards. If you want to rename the disc, see Input Disc Name on page 130 before starting the steps below.

DVD+RW discs don’t generally need finalizing. However, if you want a title menu to appear when you play the disc, then you will need to finalize. When using a DVD+RW, you can still record and edit even after finalizing. although the title menu will disappear if you do so. Finalize the disc again to generate a new title menu.

Important

•Once you’ve finalized a Video mode or DVD+R disc, you can’t edit or record anything else on that disc. However, the finalization on a DVD-RW disc maybe ‘undone’; see Undo Finalize on page 131 for how to do this.

•A VR mode DVD-R/-RW (excluding DVD- R DL) disc can still be recorded and edited on this recorder even after finalizing.

•Video mode DVD-R DL discs and DVD+R DL discs must be finalized in order to play in other recorders/players. Note however that some recorders/ players will not play even finalized dual- layer discs.
