7) Do different VBR settings and number of recording session affect
finalization times?
Yes. Finalization time is partly based on how much data is recorded to the disc.
Recording at 5.2 Mbps VBR creates a smaller data file then recording at 9.87
Mbps VBR. A smaller data file occupies less space and takes longer to finalize.
However, additional recording sessions create more data on a disc, reducing the
time needed to finalize the disc. For more information, refer to Chapter 6:
Recording Time and Picture Quality (page 45) and Chapter 7: High-Speed
Copying (page 59) in the PRV-9200 operating instructions that came with your
recorder.
8) Can you un-finalize a DVD-RW disc to record more content without losing
the original material?

3) Choose Undo Finalize from the submenu.

complete?
