Finalising disk I cant get the "finalise disk" to come up on my menu. It has been there previously, but now it is missing????

1, blank discs can be named.
2 if a disc is finalised, you cannot add data/music to it.
3 a non finalised disc is unlikely to play in a standard cd player because the TOC is incomplete.

It should finalise in both the modes.

Before you can transfer pictures or video from your Canon DC210 to your PC you need to finalise the disc in the camcorder.

You also need to make sure that the DVD drive on your PC is capable of reading a DVD-R, DVD-R DL or DVD-RW format as these are the only disk formats that the DC210 will handle. Not all PC DVD drives can read these formats.

To finalise the disk you must have the power adapter connected to the camera, plugged into a wall socket and turned on. Then, switch on the camera, put it into playback mode, Press 'Func.', select main menu, select 'disk operations', select 'finalise'. Don't move or shake the camera or switch it off whilst the finalising step is underway - this could cause problems.

Once finalising is complete, put the disk into the PC.

Good Luck.

You don't need specialist software to take video from DVD to computer.

One of two things has gone wrong
1. Your PC cannot read the -R DVD format, or, more likely
2. You have not finalised the disk.

You must finalise the disk in the camcorder before putting it in the PC. To finalise the disk you must have the power adapter connected to the camera, plugged into a wall socket and turned on. Then go to the main menu, select 'disk operations' and you'll see an option to finalise disk. Don't move or shake the camera whilst the finalising step is underway.

Once finalising is complete, put the disk into the PC.

You've recorded your video and you're ready to view it on a PC.

Now you need to finalise the disk before you can see it on the PC, otherwise the PC will not be able to read it.

To finalise the disk, connect your camera to the power adapter, plug the adapter into a wall socket, and switch on the wall socket, then switch on the camera.

To get to the finalise step. switch on the camera, press FUNC (on the top left side of the camera), move the joystick down to get to MENU, press SET on the joystick, move the joystick down to get to DISC OPERATIONS, then select FINALIZE, using the SET on the joystick. Finalising will now start.

Make sure you do not move the camcorder or switch off the wall adapter during finalisation - this could cause problems.

CDRoller or isobuster might work

i bought a camcorder from currys model vp dc 172w back in october. i took it to las vegas to record my wedding. its recording fine but i cant finalize the disks. iam folowing the instructions from the book. on 1 disk its trying for about 30 seconds then is saying disk error. the other disks i cant even get them to start running. can you help me please.

For some reason one of the discs that i have recorded on will not let me finalise. When i put the disc in it says recording disabled and then i go to the finalise menu and the finalise selection is unhighlighted. How can i fix this so i can finalise the disc and use it on my computer?
