How do I finalise DVD+R ?

SnowWhiterThanWhite · 26 February 2011 at 4:19PM

Hi,

I have some movies transferred onto my PC (W7) from my Sony handycam - Have already burnt a few movies onto DVD-R discs which play fine on both my PC & DVD Player.

Bought some more disc to complete the transfer of the rest of my movies & these are DVD+R

Have burnt the movie to the disc, which plays fine on my PC, but when I try & play in DVD player, comes up as 'cannot play DVD'?

I googled the problem & it seems I need to finalise the disc, but, I can't find out how to actually do this?

Can anyone help

Thank you

You should be able to do it with a PC if you:

- Download and install ImgBurn. It's free and highly reputable, but you might need to deselect a toolbar or the like during installation.

- On the 'Tools' menu select 'Drive', then 'Close', then 'Disc'.

Hi,

I've found the web-site, (Your link didn't work?)but when I click onto the download button, it comes up with 'spy-ware doctor'?

Is this right?

Hi, sounds like your dvd player is not compatible with the "+" format. Is it an old machine, or a not so old Panasonic? Ask someone with a newer dvd player to try it for you, if it works, then it's your player.

You should stop using dodgy sites.

OK, managed to find the correct download for IMGBURN but, AVG tells me it's malware?

Hi, used your link, but AVG is still advising against download?

Nope! Still can't locate the download link?

Maybe you should run malwarebytes.
I always buy dvd-r discs , think they are more compatible.
Imgburn is a well regarded prog on this forum, google it and see if your avg flags it when from different sources.

edit- it's central under download locations , download@majorgeeks , to the right of author,date,etc.
