The drive does not finalize DVD-R discs correctly. If you burn a DVD-R disc
in DAO mode, it likely won't play back on a DVD-ROM drive. It should play
back fine in the drive that wrote it. It MAY play back fine in a console
DVD player. Burn your DVD-Video projects to DVD+R if your players support
that. You can burn multisession DVD-R discs and they'll be readable on
DVD-ROM drives, but not many console players.
