Playing your recordings on
other DVD players
Most regular DVD players can play finalized
discs recorded in Video mode and DVD+R
discs. A number of players (including many
Pioneer models) can also play DVD-RW
discs recorded in VR mode, finalized or not.
Most players will not play VR mode DVD-R
discs, although some DVD-ROM drives and
DVD recorders may be able to (finalization
might be necessary). Check the manual that
came with the player to check what kinds of
discs it will play.
When you finalize a Video mode or DVD+R
disc, a title menu is created from which you
can select titles when you play the disc.
There are a number of different styles of title
menu to choose from to suit the content of
the disc.
All the title menus are navigated in the usual
way, pressing
MENU or TOP MENU to
display the menu, then using the / / /
followed by ENTER to select titles and
start playback.
Finalizing a disc
Finalizing ‘fixes’ the recordings on the disc
so that it can be played on a regular DVD
player or computer equipped with a suitable
DVD-ROM drive.
1
Note that the disc name will appear in the
title menu after you finalize a disc. Make sure
the disc name is as you want it before you
finalize the disc as it can’t be changed
afterwards. If you want to rename the disc,
see
Input Disc Name on page 114 before
starting the steps below.
DVD+RW discs don’t generally need
finalizing. However, if you want a title menu
to appear when you play the disc, then you
will need to finalize. When using a
DVD+RW, you can still record and edit even
after finalizing. although the title menu will
disappear if you do so. Finalize the disc
again to generate a new title menu.
