Finalizing (also spelled finalising) 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 additional 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 additional data.
Some recording formats, such as DVD+RW VR, do not require finalization before they can be played.
A circle is a simple shape in Euclidean geometry. It is the set of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre; equivalently it is the curve traced out by a point that moves so that its distance from a given point is constant. The distance between any of the points and the centre is called the radius.
A circle is a simple closed curve which divides the plane into two regions: an interior and an exterior. In everyday use, the term "circle" may be used interchangeably to refer to either the boundary of the figure, or to the whole figure including its interior; in strict technical usage, the circle is only the boundary and the whole figure is called a disk.
A circle may also be defined as a special ellipse in which the two foci are coincident and the eccentricity is 0, or the two-dimensional shape enclosing the most area per unit perimeter squared, using calculus of variations.
Circle (Turkish: Daire) is a 2014 film written and directed by director Atil Inac.
In the hard-boiled world, where will the soft-shelled end up? A cozy kind of extermination is on the stage and keeping a low profile. The decadence around us is nothing less than clandestine annihilation of the civil man. Yet it is carried out so well with a grinning face, it is officially sold as transition. Now that the tamed indulgent is striped off social justice, welfare, even denied the tender love of concentration camps and slavery plantations of past centuries. At least hand them a round of rope… They have high expectations from taking things in their own hands.
Circle is a peculiar story of an ordinary man caught between an untimely romance and brave new hostile world.
Circle is the name of a stand-up tour by the comedian Eddie Izzard in 2000.
It was released on VHS and DVD in the United Kingdom on 18 November 2002. The video includes Eddie performing a French version of his show with English subtitles.
The performance features many of Izzard's traditional themes, particularly religion (or "philosophies with some good ideas, and some fucking weird ones"). A discussion about Jesus' role in the three main Abrahamic faiths sees him "waiting offstage" in Judaism and playing on the same sporting team as Muhammad in Islam. This is counterpointed with a dialogue between a Crusader and his enemy in which both men are trying to kill the other "in the name of Jesus". He also mentions his impression that in Buddhism, Jesus is "Buddha's baby brother Benny".
The rigidity of religion is also lampooned, particularly as it relates to the Renaissance. Galileo's persecution by the Catholic Church is mentioned, although the man is eventually asked (in prison) "Galileo, Galileo, will you do the fandango?"

Circular is the second studio album by Spanish singer Vega, released on February 27, 2006 (see 2006 in music) by Universal Music Spain.
After her album, India, Vega switched from Vale Music to Universal Music Spain and started working on her second album. Once again, every song on it, except for "Eres" (Café Tacvba cover), were written by her. The first single off Circular was "Una Vida Contigo" (Spanish for A Life with You).
Due to the poor sales of the album, Vega went back to the studio and reworked the songs on her second effort, and also recorded two new songs: "Y Llueve" (Spanish for And It Rains) and "Clave De Sol". Both songs, along with the reworked versions of Circular, were then released as "Circular: Cómo Girar Sin Dar La Vuelta" (Circular: How To Spin Without Turning Around) on March 26, 2007. After releasing "Y Llueve" as the second single, both Vega and the label gave up promotion for the album, and she went on to concentrate on her future projects.
