Key Information on DVD Finalization, Data DVDs and Video DVDs Before we dive in it is important that you get an understanding of some specific terms here so that you can proceed with at least an idea of what you are doing. Finalization versus Closing There are two strategies employed to "finish off" a DVD disc depending on the contents. If the disc only contains data then certain final information is written to the disc to let anything reading that disc know what is on the disc and that the disc contains data only. This is called Closing the disc. An unclosed data disc generally speaking, can only be further written to by the original software that created it. If the disc contains video as in a video DVD then the disc needs to be finished off so that the contents are readable by DVD playback devices and that those devices recognise it as a Video DVD.

I recorded two important TV shows onto my Toshiba DVD recorder to a blank Sony DVD-R disc (on a timer). Next day, turn how to the machine on, it gives a 'disc error' message, and won't load. So the disc is unfinalized, can't watch the program material. I put the flawed DVD-R into several computers, there are program files on the disc, but I can't find anyway to read them, or finalize the disc. Any suggestions ?[/b] Quote 8th May 200809:43 #2 jman98 View Profile View Forum Posts Banned Join Date : Oct 2004 Location : Freedonia IsoBuster may be able to recover the contents of the how to finalize DVD, but my understanding is that IsoBuster is not free and while you can demo it for free, you can't really do much useful with it until you pay for it. Your disc may just be hopelessly corrupted. You need to accept this possibility. Sony media sold in North America is pretty crappy these days and as such not recommended. You'd do better to buy Verbatim or mail order Taiyo Yuden. Finally, there are alternate ways of getting TV programs, although not necessarily in DVD format. You can probably find your shows on various BitTorrent networks.

I have seen so many reports of this mishap that make it about 50/50 whether it was a bad disc or the recorder acting up. The GOOD news, if it was the recorder, is many people manage to "repair" their semi-finalized discs by putting them into a different Toshiba. Find a sympathetic store with a display model you can use for a minute to try and "re-finalize" this disc before giving up
