Playing back discs recorded in Video mode on any regular DVD player:

Discs recorded in Video mode can be played back on regular DVD players, including computer DVD drives compatible with DVD-Video playback. You will need to finalise the discs recorded in Video mode to play back in other DVD players. Although DVD+RW/+R discs are playable on other units without finalisation in most cases, it is recommended to finalise in order to stabilise the performance.

* DVD-Video Format (Video mode) is a new format for

recording on DVD-RW/-R discs that was approved by the DVD Forum in 2000. Adoption of this format is optional for manufactures of DVD playback devices and there are DVD-Video players, DVD-ROM drives and other DVD playback devices available that cannot play back DVD-RW/-R discs recorded in the DVD-Video Format.
