Finalising...............
snip........ a disc enables the disc to be played on any other compatible
machine. By doing this it changes the disc format so that you can no longer
record to it turning it into a Play Only disc. On your DVD Recorder you can
record to many (if not all depending on the model) DVD Disc formats to the
limit of their capacity over multiple occasions. The disc in question can be
played back and recorded to on the DVD Recorder during this time but until
it is finalised it will not work on any other machine.
