It is true that DVD+RW does not require finalization (I just checked it.)
Either that, or the simple act of stopping a recording in progress
automatically finalizes the disc. But if that were the case, it would drain
all meaning from the word "finalize".

Since I don't have any DVD-RW blanks, I can't verify the implied part of my
original statement--that DVD-RW DOES require finalization. Will someone
please check.
