Cannot Finalize my DVD

I am plugged in to a power source. I go through the steps, and all it says is "initialize." How do I get to where it says "finalize?"

    I cant finalise my dvd

  • aaaaR Jun 30, 2008

    Have a Canon 310....the DVD is Full and cannot read or finalize the DVD. Canon told me because the disk is full the camera read or finalize. Why didn't Canon tell the user this problem before hand. Does anyone know how I can recover my event on this DVD? Canon should be banned for creating a camcorder that doesn't do the job as indicated as per the product sold. This DVD contains my daughter's recent graduation and it is lost because on Canon's BS Camcorder!

Use the sowftwear Ulead VideoStudio 11 and import your clip form the mini dvd oky and this sowftwear will import your clip to a folder

go to that folder and do what you want with your clips save it to cd or dvd

and thin format your minidvd to use it with the camrecorder

see you

I have a canon DC210 and had the same problem, you can't finalized if the scenes were shot in VR mode, shoot scenes in Video mode and you can finalize the disc...

We had the same problem, and had the camera exchanged and same thing happened with that one.
I called Canon, JVC, and Memorex, because those are the discs that we used.
Everyone just blamed each other, for either, bad discs, or bad camera.
What we finally came up with was, we have a recordable DVD player that was fairly cheap, under $100. We hooked up the camera to the DVD and copied it to a full size disc. It somehow finalized the disc.
We were also told that we could bring our disc to a video place to have them do it, finalize it. I would cost us $85 per disc.
I hope this helps. I can tell you though, I am returning this camera and getting a different one. We are very disappointed in that finalization step. We almost lost everything!

I am having problems finalising my canon 201. I have put it in playback mode, but the entry for finalise is not highlighted as disc info & initialise...

is that an indication that my disc initialise step was incomplete? I do not wish to re-initialise and lose the data on DVD-RW.

No finalize option available. Only allows me to

Make sure you are on the mode to view the recorded videos, then make sure the camera is plugged into the power supply and the finalize option should become available
