Finalize Disc
The Finalize Disc tool closes a disc to ensure it is compatible with the largest number of drives and music players. When a write-once disc is closed, no new data or music can be added to it. When a rewritable disc is closed, no new data or music can be added to it unless the disc is erased.
To finalize a disc:
1 Select Finalize Disc from the Tools menu.
2 Insert a disc into your disc drive.
3 Select that drive from the drop-down list.
4 Click the action button.
Note: Audio CDs are automatically finalized after they are recorded. Some disc types, including DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM, cannot be finalized.
