DVD will not finalize

If your Sony RDR-GX257 DVD recorder says "no title" after recording, it could be due to a few different issues.
One possibility is that the disc was not finalized after recording, which can cause playback issues on other devices. To finalize the disc, you will need to access the disc menu on the DVD recorder and select the "finalize" option.
Another possibility is that the disc was not recorded properly, which can cause the "no title" error to appear. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including a dirty or damaged disc, a malfunctioning recorder, or incorrect settings on the recorder.
If you continue to experience issues after finalizing the disc and checking the recording settings, it may be necessary to seek assistance from a qualified technician or contact Sony customer support for further assistance.

In general, Blu-ray player is compatible with DVDs. So you can play DVD on Sharp Blu-ray Player. However, some pretected DVD can be played on Blu-ray Player. As for How to remove region restriction on DVD for playing on any Blu-ray player, just follow below steps.
Step 1. Download and install Leawo DVD Ripper on your computer, and then kick off the program to enter the main interface. Import the DVD with copy protection on your computer by clicking Add Blu-ray/DVD. Once the protected DVD is selected, you will be provided three options to import DVD file(s): Full Movie, Main Movie and Custom Mode. Full Movie is to import all titles, and Main Movie only imports the longest title by default. And you are able to choose titles for importing under Custom Mode.

Make sure your Sony input signal is on L1 or L3 (the inputs in back of recorder) or on L2 which is for inputs for cameras(located in front).Once you get a signal, you're where you need to be. Choose your recording mode for recording speed (pull down the flap on the remote control for this button and also the input button).
Choose from between1 hour and six hours. To archive really important stuff, stick with the first 3 speeds. TV recording can be on 3, 4 or 6 hour mode.
Push the record/pause button once. This will put the recorder into the record/pause mode and then it awaits you pushing it again to start recording immediately. Just pushing record will force the machine into a 3 to five second delay before actually recording anything so you might mess up and miss the first few seconds of your input. Suggest you use a dvr-rw or dvd+rw to practice on.

When your recording is done, just push the pause again. It stops recording but allows you to add more on to the first recording without starting a new chapter if you want. Just continue to release the pause button to continue.
If you are satisfied that you are finished, then push the pause button to stop recording. Wait for the info to be written(flashing message on screen). When it stops, you may play the dvd.
Notice- since the dvd has not been FINALIZED, you may only play it back on this unit without finalizing. It will not play on other dvd players unless you finalize it first.
To finalize, look on remote for the TOOL button. Press it once. Now push DISC INFO once. Use arrow keys and enter button on remote for the following. Scroll down to FINALIZE and press enter.
Use arrow keys to scroll to OK. push the ENTER button. Finalizing should take between 30 seconds and 2 minutes.

Warning- if titles or chapters are to typed in, it must be done BEFORE finalizing. Finalizing afterwards cannot be done.
Erasing can be done in part or all if using an RW+ or RW- disc

use nero express 8 edition

Usually, nothing can be deleted after finalizing. But deleting a brief title donesn't change the remaining time. Deleting a long one does eats up some of the DVD time...

The way to get it to finalize is like this:

1. turn it on
2. use cord.
3.move the on buttom to mode. it will show the recordings.
4. select a recording
5.press function butom. it will up bring several choices among "menu"
6. slect menu
7. it will give you all the chioces you need to title, finailize, protect and all needed to view the dvd

Any questions,
let me know.

I have found that any disc faster than 4X will not finalize. 8x disc will record but not finalize. 16X disc will not even record. I haven't been able to find any D VD+R 4X. 4X disc work fine and will finalize if you can find any.

VHS tape to a DVD-R

you just need to replace optical pick up of the set. It must be costing abt rs 6500/-
