Question Do ALL DVD Camcorders 'finalise' the DVD?

As the question implies... I am sure they all do but can someone confirm? Why would they NOT finalise DVD's??

  • User error
  • Camcorder malfunction
or
  • Dodgy media
A little unexplained bad luck is also possible
Have a look at the FAQ to see why DVD camcorders seem to be less popular than you might expect them to be
