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
DISC MENU/LIST or TITLE.
Caution
Once you have finalized a DVD-R disc, you cannot
edit or record anything else on that disc.
However, you can record and edit a DVD-RW disc
by choosing Unfinalize.

and re-record onto the disc.
