What is the point of finalizing CD/DVDs from user's point of view? First of all does it have any impact on reliability of media or it's just a way to ensure that the content of the disk cannot be changed?
I wonder because I use DVDs to store my system backups.
Aren't writable discs forever wriitable? What about "finalize"-ing makes the disk no longer writable? – Pacerier – 2015-05-02T06:38:08.570
If the CD-R or DVD-R is multisession, you can add, overwrite and delete files. The content of the file is not deleted, but a new TOC is created where the old file is not refferenced. – Mircea Vutcovici – 2016-11-08T12:14:00.587
