Can't Finalize Disc. What's wrong?

Question

I have a Panasonic VDR-M53 Dvd video camera. The instructions say that to finalize a disc, so that it will be watchable on a dvd or a computer, I need to finalize it. However, there is no such option on the menu. It's not where the manual says it should be. How do I finalize this disc?

Answer 1

It's on page 127 of the manual (link below). Did you notice that it can't do it using just the battery pack? You HAVE to plug in AC adapter -- maybe the camera can sense this and won't even let you try without the adapter plugged in.
