Playing Recordings on Other DVD
Players
Most regular DVD players can play finalized discs
recorded in Video mode. A small number of players
can also play DVD-RW discs recorded in VR mode,
finalized or not. Check the manual that came with the
other player to check what kinds of discs it will play.
Finalizing a Disc
Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings in place so that the
disc can be played on a regular DVD player or com-
puter 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
DISC MENU/LIST or TITLE. To finalize a disc, refer
to “Disc Finalize” on page 25.
