Recording Additional Movies on a
Finalized Disc
Recording additional scenes on a disc already finalized can be done only with DVD-RW
discs. A finalized DVD-RW in VIDEO mode can be unfinalized to allow recording
additional scenes and other limited editing options. With a DVD-RW recorded in VR mode
you can record additional scenes without the need to unfinalize it. DVD-R discs cannot be
unfinalized.
This option is only available with DVD-RW discs in VIDEO mode.
When unfinalizing a disc, always power the camcorder directly from a power
outlet. The unfinalization process cannot be started if the camcorder is powered
only with the battery pack.
Do not disconnect the power adapter while the disc unfinalization is in progress.
Doing so can interrupt the process and result in a disc that cannot be
recognized.
Only discs that were finalized using this camcorder can be unfinalized with this
camcorder.
