How Do I Finalize a DVD+R?

Finalizing the burning session of a DVD+R "closes" the disc. This step ensures that all of the data you've attempted to burn onto the disc has transferred to the disc properly, and that no other burning program (including your computer's operating system) will be able to alter the disc later. Finalizing a DVD+R takes only a few seconds.

Instructions

1. Click "Start."

2. Click "Computer."

3. Locate the Windows Explorer toolbar. This will be near the top of the window you see on screen, below the "File" and "Tools" menus.

4. Click the "Close Session" toolbar button.
