Finalizing Menu Won't Toggle. Stuck On Pbc & Stopped Recording Before Finished.
I am trying to copy old VHS movies onto a DVD and I can't get the menu to toggle up from PBC to Finalize. Also, while copying a VHS, it stopped after about 40 minutes of recording and said something like "no disk". We didn't format the DVD because the onscreen menu said we didn't need to. When we select disk the program goes right to PBC and won't move. All of the other menues toggle fine.
