Yes, it can be done after the fact. You can close the disc with a DVD
burning program (Nero) and a DVDR drive, or your set-top box probably has
some option to do it.

Hmm, is there a way to either read an unclosed disk or close it after the
fact?

My guess would be that it is either using packet writing (unlikely), or the
disc isn't closed.

I'm just starting to look into this, but maybe someone here knows the
answer already. I have a set-top DVD Burner, a Samsung DVD-R120. Got it
for only 80 bucks and used it hooked up to a VCR to copy over tapes. Does
a pretty good job. However, I recently slapped it into my computer
(actually both computers) and neither sees the disk at all. Doesn't play
and won't show up any file listing (MCE just hangs). Do set-top DVD
recorders use some sort of different format? I'm using the same disks for
all my DVD burners (-R).
Thanks....Steve
