I have a Matsui dvd recorder and I find the instruction book is very uninformative. It does not explain what finalizing is and when to do it and what type of discs you can do it to.
I have now found out from a tv wizard I know. I now know that you fill the disc ,then finalise a non erazable only.
the disavantage of dvd over vcr is you cannot erase one recording or part of as you can with tape
