WHAT DOES FINALIZE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Finalize (optical discs)

Finalizing an optical disc is the process of writing out support data such as DVD menus, directory data, and the like to an optical disc in order to make it playable on a system other than the one it was recorded on. As a general rule, finalization means that the disc cannot have any more data written to it. It is the last step in the DVD authoring process. The term is also used as an alternative word for the "closing" of a CD-R, in which Table of Contents data and the like are written out to enable the computer to read a CD. Like DVD finalization, a closed CD-R cannot receive any more data. Some recording formats, such as DVD+RW VR, do not require finalization before they can be played.

Definition of finalize in the English dictionary
