How long does it take to finalize a disc recorded on DVD-R media?
A21: The DVD disc specification requires lead in and lead out data be written to the disc. In addition, the DVD Specification states that a minimum of 35mm of data starting from the inner radius must be recorded onto the disc. The data size of a recorded segment is dependent on the bit rate set for that segment and the length of the segment. Finalization time is based on how much data is recorded to DVD-R media and how much lead-out is required to meet the specifications. On the PRV-LX1, finalization times range from 3 minutes to 7 minutes, depending upon the bit rate and running time of the video recorded onto the disc. Note: Finalization time is not dependent on disc media; the time required to finalize a disc is the same for both DVD-R media and a new piece of DVD-RW media.
