Finalising a disc for other players
Finalising a disc
You have to finalise the disc before you can play a recorded disc on other players such
as DVD players. Finalising makes the recorded disc DVD-Video compatible, and you
can play the disc on DVD-Video compatible players.
Some players cannot play discs recorded in the VR mode. Make sure of playback
compatibility with your players in advance of recording. For details, see the operating
instructions supplied with your player.
Note that you cannot record again on finalised DVD-Rs.
You can record again on DVD-RWs.
In VIDEO mode: the disc is recordable if unfinalised.
In VR mode: the disc is recordable after finalising.
Before finalising the disc
Place your camcorder in a stable position. It takes about a minute to a few hours
for finalising. The shorter the amount of material recorded, the longer it takes for
finalising. The procedure differs between DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs.
Notes
Power your camcorder from a wall socket using the AC adaptor.
If you disconnect the AC adaptor during finalising, the disc may be damaged.
Do not vibrate your camcorder during finalising.
Playback may pause between the scenes in some players.
1 Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN jack on your camcorder, then connect
the mains lead to the wall socket.
2 Turn the power on by sliding the POWER switch upward pressing the green
button.
3 Press SETUP.
4 Select (DISC SET) with v/V, then press ENTER.
5 Select [FINALISE] with v/V, then press ENTER.
The disc title is set as the date and time the disc was first used. See Changing
the disc title on page 54 if you want to change the disc title.
6 When still images are included on a disc recorded in VIDEO mode, select
[PHOTOMOVIE], [CREATE] with v/V, then press ENTER. Proceed to step 7
in VR mode.
To play back still images on players such as DVD players, still images must be
converted to a movie. Converted still images are played back in sequence. The
original still images remain as JPEG files.
When still images are recorded in VR mode, perform the operation in Saving
all the still images on a disc to a movie file (page 77).
