I've tried to copy a film onto a DVD+R but as soon as the transfer
is finished, the recorder 'finalises' the DVD so I cannot copy any
more onto the same DVD.

Is there some way I can get round this problem?


Another case of not RTFM...
Normally you can select if to automatically finalise at the end of
recording in the set up or record menu. Anyway, what are we talking
about here, a computer drive, a stand alone DVD recorder or what?!

It's a Panasonic DMR-EX77EB. and the manual was written in chinese,
translated to urdu, then to german, then to italian, and finally to
english, as they usually are, and contain no information of any
sense!

I'll try to read it again, but previous attempts have not been at
all helpful!


Have a play with it, actually go and look through the various menus
options, any thing that mentions "record" and "Finalising (disk/disc)"
is going to be relevant in some way. I don't have a Panasonic DVD
recorder but do have one of their TV's and have used their video
cameras and whilst some of the wording in the manual could be better
they are a lot better than the LG stuff I've had - clue, US English is
the second language of Japan so I doubt that the problem is really
their end...

Oh, and perhaps if you tried posting your question the (correct)
uk.tech.digital-tv group you might come across someone who has or uses
the same recorder, this group is more about using video cameras and
computers to make video content.
