*‘Quick preparation’ is a technology of formatting
which saves much time compared to traditional ‘Full
Preparation’ method. When prepare a DVD-RW disc
for recording, it creates a temporary area on the disc
to mark the end of the recording data. When you
apply editing functions or add new recordings, this
temporary area is erased so the data can be written to
the disc.
Only discs used to record video titles require finaliza-
tion. Discs containing other types of media files are
considered as data; there is no need to finalize these
discs.
The finalized disc may not be able to be played back
on certain devices (e.g. older model DVD player) due
to technical incompatibility.
