is finalized, you cannot perform additional recording.

•

it becomes DVD-Video.

•

In both modes, playback can be performed before and after

finalization, but additional recording, deleting and editing can

not be performed after finalization.

•

If you want to record the disc in VR Mode and then record in

V Mode, be sure to execute format. Be careful when execut-

ing Format because all the recorded data may be lost.
