The DVD+R Disc Menu allows you to rename your disc or finalize it so it will be compatible with most other

• Once you have finalized a DVD+R disc, you cannot edit or record anything else on that disc.

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
