Most regular DVD players can play finalized
discs recorded in DVD-R/-RW (Video mode)
and DVD+R discs. A number of players
(including many Pioneer models) can also
play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode,
finalized or not. Most players will not play VR
mode DVD-R discs, although some
DVD-ROM drives and DVD recorders may be
able to (finalization might be necessary).
DVD-RAM discs can only be played on
DVD-RAM compatible players. Check the
manual that came with the player to check
what kinds of discs it will play.
When you finalize a DVD-R/-RW (Video
mode) or DVD+R disc, a title menu is
created from which you can select titles
