I have a Canon DC310 Camcorder and it will not finalize. I go to the menu--> Disc Operations--> Finalize and that's as far as I can go. I try moving the joy stick every which way but nothing happens. What is wrong?

To finalize the disk:
Select MENU --> then select: DISC OPERATIONS then select: FINALIZE then select: YES ... to go back to MENU
During the disk finalization, a progress bar is displayed. Close the MENU only AFTER the screen display returns to the DISC OPERATIONS menu

When you are in Video Playback mode do as follows:
1.) Press Menu 2.) Go to Disc Operations 3.) Scroll to Finalize and then click yes.
Avoid moving the camera and do not do this if outside in excessive heat. Hope that helps :)

my problem is u r tell me how do make video capture to computer because i will connect to camera and pc after canting sow no disc in my pc

Try to finalize disc first on camcorder.

In order to Finalize you have to plug in the power adapter.
It took me forever to figure it out.

depends what type of disc-rw's won't highlight sometimes because they don't always need to be finalized to play-insert the disc if r in another brand and see if you can finalize-go to bb or circuit and ask them if you can stick it in display and see if it comes up-if never proably was done already-also try different dvd players

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.

You have to plug in the AC adapter to finalize a disc. It won't "finalize" on the battery alone.

works!  Cannon FAQ stinks and never mentioned it.  Thanks for posting the solution!
