Disc 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
LIST/DISC MENU or TITLE.
• When DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD+R recording,
you've finalized a disc recording, you can't edit or
record anything else on that disc except
DVD+RW.

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. A disc recorded can take up to 8 min-
utes or more to finalize.
If you load a DVD-RW or DVD+RW that has already
been finalized, you can 'unfinalize' it by choosing
Unfinalize from the Finalize menu. After doing this, you
can edit and re-record onto the disc.
