Do I have to finalize the disk before I can edit it on the computer for (Mini DVD Camcorder)?

Question

Hi I bought a Mini DVD Camcorder and I was wondering if I have to finalize the disk before I can edit it on the computer, and if I have to do that can I Re-Write on that disk when I'm done on the computer?

Answer 1

You'll need to finalise the disk, and once that's done you can't write any more to it. If it's a rewritable you can reformat and start again, but you can't add to what's already there.

Answer 2

You have to finalize it and convert it.

If you have a mini dvd camcorder….

You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (I downloaded handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.
