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.
