the disc in order that it can be read by other DVD+R compatible players. Closing a DVD+R

make other recordings on it later on, providing there is enough disc space.You can therefore
safely store it.You may also erase recordings but the corresponding duration will be lost.You
may not record other titles in their place

With DVD+RW discsdiscs this function does not exist. It is replaced by a function that
renders the disc compatible in such cases where you have added or removed chapter
bookmarks using the edit menu. For some players, it is necessary to render the disc
