If you eject a disc without finalizing, you
can finalize it later.

To finalize a disc means to make the disc
playable on other DVD devices. If you do not
finalize the disc with the DVDirect, the disc
cannot be played on other DVD devices.
You cannot add videos or photos to a finalized
disc.
When using a DVD+RW disc and connecting
the camcorder to the DVDirect’s VIDEO IN

add videos on the DVD+RW with the
DVDirect, and the disc will be playable on other
DVD devices.
