Thumbs down DVD Recording question


I'm new here, and unsure where to post my question...

I just recently purchased an RCA DVD Recorder/VCR combo. We used DVD-RW disks (which are compatible in our recorder) to record a movie. We then too the disk to our other DVD player (Toshiba) and it would not play...]

Any ideas?

I was under the impression that one would not have to finalize DVD-RW disks in order to get them to play on other machines.

If I DO finalize the disk, will I be able to use it again??

Thank you for your patience and your attention. Have a good day!

Christa

DVD-RW can be erased and re-written over and over again so yes you can finalize a burn on a DVD-RW disc. The "RW" in DVD-RW stands for re-writable.

Werty's got it rite

Just understand this all as Finalizing the Data, its like a HDD, you can format it.

If your DVD drive supports unfinalized sessions (which is most and even some DVD-Players support it) then you are not required to finalize it unless u want to.
