[Ham-Computers] Toshiba Finalizing

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hi All,

I have a Toshiba model 620 VHS/DVD deck. You can record from the TV or other 
external source, or dub a VHS tape to a DVD. I do the latter.

It uses a minus R DVD.

The problem is, this totally blind guy can not figure out how to finalize 
the completed DVD! There is no 'finalize' button on the unit itself. Hence, 
it must be on the remote. Maybe so, but so far I can not figure out how to 
finalize using this confusing remote!

Is there any way that I can put the not finalized DVD into my Windows Home 
Edition computer and somehow finalize it? Maybe through Nero Vision?

Can I copy an unfinalized DVD and then finalize it with the computer?

Thanks!

Oh yes, the Toshiba technical assistance folks were speechless when they 
learned a totally blind guy was using their product! Especially when they 
found out I had managed to do everything except finalize my work!
