It is not clear what your recorder means with "finalizing". It may be about open tracks (a speciality of DVD+R) or open sessions (DVD-R, unformatted DVD-RW) or open disc (all three types). The man page of growisofs also talks of finalizing: To finalize the multisession DVD maintaining maximum compatibility: growisofs -M /dev/dvd=/dev/zero But before you try this, put the medium into a computer attached DVD burner (i assume its address is /dev/sr0) and show the output of dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0 extra | tee -i /tmp/dvd_info.txt It might become lengthy. So i propose to catch the ouptut in file /tmp/dvd_info.txt Have a nice day :) Thomas
