Recording Additional Movies on a
Finalized Disc
You can unfinalize a disc to allow recording additional scenes after it was finalized.
This option is only available with DVD-RW discs in VIDEO mode.
Be sure to unfinalize the disc in normal room temperatures. If the
procedure was not completed correctly due to high temperature, let the
camcorder cool before resuming operation.
Place the camcorder on a table or other stable surface before starting the
procedure. Subjecting the camcorder even to slight impacts (for example
to place it on a table or to disconnect the AV cable) after you select the
menu option may result in permanent data loss.
When unfinalizing a disc, always power the camcorder using the compact
power adapter. The unfinalization process cannot be started if the camcorder is
powered only with the battery pack.
Do not disconnect the power adapter while the disc unfinalization is in progress.
Doing so can interrupt the process and result in a disc that cannot be
recognized.
Only discs that were finalized using this camcorder can be unfinalized with this
camcorder.
