Help please. I have been copying programs from my DVR to DVD's using a Panasonic DMR-55. I'm doing this for a friend stationed in Iraq. After spending 4 hrs copying the disk then get a message "finalize failure" ##U)**? This has happened with at least 3 disks. So any ideas what I'm doing wrong. I'm using DVD-R disks ( Memorex I think).
I never had any problems using 8x discs. Memorex doesn't make their own discs and uses multiple manufacterers, so unless you have a PC burner, there's no way of knowing if they are good discs or not. Firmware updates will sometimes fix compatibility problems.
