When you close or "Finalize" a DVD, you can't add any more files. This option should be in the "Options". On mine, it's in the "burning" tab as an option that you check. "Close disc: Checking this option write-protects the disc. No further data can be appended to the disc after the current burning session."
When you add files to a disc that already had something on it, you create a "multisession" disc.
The problem with "Multisession" discs/DVD's regardless of whether or not they are finalized or closed, is that not all DVD players will recognize them because they are multisession. The only way to find out is try the disc or read the owners manual for player.
