Answer 2

Where did you burn this disk?  In your computer? In your stand alone DVD recorder?

If in your computer, the program you used should have an option of finalizing the disk after burning.  You will have to look through all the options to find it.

If in your stand alone DVD recorder, then you will have to put that DVD back into the recorder and go through the menu to find the finalization option.  If you don't finalize the disk, only the DVD recorder will be able to play that DVD.

Just an FYI also.  Finalizing the disk means that you are done recording on the disk.  Don't finalize if you intend on recording more on the disk as once it is finalized it is closed and nothing more can be added.

Answer 3

if the disk comes out then its completely done, the disk is maybe a dvd, instead of audio? that could be the prob. hope this helps

Answer 4

if you use nero ... it does it all for you ... i don't know what program you are using

Answer 5

if you  burned  it  on  a  dvr then  you  have  to  go  to  the  menu and  look  for  an  option  that may  be  something  like  disk  management then  look  for the  fianlize  option.

you  must  finalize  on the  same  machine  you  burned  it  on

computer  burned  discs  usually  finalize  for  you.  but  maybe  some  programs  are  different  in that  respect
