Finalize
Finalizing
'fixes' the
recordings
in
place
so that the
disc can be
played
on a
regular
DVD
player
or
computer equipped
with a suitable DVD-ROM drive.
Finalizing
a Video mode disc creates a menu screen
for
navigating
the disc. This is accessed
by pressing
MENU/LIST or TITLE.
Caution
Once
you
have finalized a DVD-R and DVD+R
disc,
you
cannot edit or record
anything
else on that disc
except
DVD+RW.
However,
you
can record and edit a
DVD-RW disc
by choosing [Unfinalize] option.

finalizing
the disc.
Note:
How
long
finalization takes
depends
on the
type
of
disc,
how much is recorded on the
disc,
and the
number of titles on the disc.
DVD+R DL disc can take
up
to 30 minutes to
finalize.
Tips

you
load a DVD-RW that has
