How to Finalize a DVD with Nero
When working with Nero to burn your own customized DVDs, you may have noticed the option to "Finalize" your disc on the burning menu. This is an often-overlooked feature that is used to ensure proper burning and maximum compatibility for your discs. Finalizing checks the disc for errors, scratches, missing sectors and other flaws that may prevent proper playback. It also "closes off the disc," marking it as a complete disc, unable to be re-written. This is important for compatibility purposes, as some media players will not recognize a re-writable DVD disc.
