Re: how to finalize a dvd

Hi,

 

Must be on the burner software. What are you using to burn this DVD ?

 

Regards.

Re: how to finalize a dvd

Hi,

 

Modern DVD programs will finalize the disk when it is closed.  Some programs by default will leave the DVD open so that data can be appended to the disk.  As mentioned by Banhien, check your application program for that function.

 

Some of the older programs required the program to be on both PCs if you left the disk open.

 

You can download Imgburn to check the condition of your DVD disk.  You can also use Imgburn burn to close (finalize) the disk.

bg77,

As stated by Dave_G
