• Once you have finalized a DVD+R disc, you cannot edit or
record anything else on that disc.
• ‘Finalize (Make Compatible)’ can take up to 3-4 minutes
depending on the type of disc, how much is recorded on the disc, and the number of titles
on the disc.
• If you do not make your DVD+RW disc compatible, your edits will not be recognized by
other DVD players.
• It may take over 7 minutes for finalizing the edited disk, you'd better wait till the set
finish the finalizing operation.
