You will need to finalize the discs recorded in Video mode to play them back on other DVD players.

Finalizing may take several minutes up to an hour. (It can take up to

15 minutes for a disc recorded in Video mode and 60 minutes for a disc recorded in VR mode.)

A shorter recording period on the disc will require a longer time period for finalization. Do not unplug the power cord during finalization.
