9Select whether to finalize the disc.

For details on finalizing discs, see “What is ‘finalize disc’?” (page 66).

To finalize the disc:

Select [Yes] and press the (Select) button. A confirmation message will appear, so select [Yes] and press the (Select) button again. Disc finalization will begin, and the process may take a few minutes.

When finalization is finished, the disc is ejected and the video DVD is completed. You can now play the disc on DVD players or the DVD drives of computers.

To not finalize the disc:

Select [No] and press the (Select) button. The disc will be ejected without finalization. This disc is not completed yet, and it cannot be played with other DVD players or DVD drives of computers.

Hint

If you eject a disc without finalizing after videos have been recorded, you can consolidate videos recorded on other 8-cm DVDs onto the same disc later.

Note

You cannot stop while recording is in progress. Wait until it stops automatically.
