Finalizing a DVD+RW Disc (Make Compatible) Strictly speaking an RW disc doesn’t get finalized, since it is always possible to erase and re-record. The finalizing process with a DVD+RW disc is called Make Compatible; it doesn’t close the disc to future recordings, but it does make it compatible with other DVD players and computers.
