Can I close or finalize a DVD on Ubuntu?

I have a DVD of video files that was burned but apparently not closed or finalized.
My laptop (Ubuntu 17.10.1) seems to work hard at reading it for a minute or two, but never actually acknowledges that there's a disk in the drive.
I assumed this meant it was corrupt or damaged, but the person who gave me the disk assures me that it's probably fine, I just need to figure out how to close it. Unfortunately, we no longer have access to the device that burned the disk.
Is there a way to salvage the videos?

Or ... you did not install DVD support? ( see askubuntu.com/questions/987730/… for some packages)

I think that cdrecord (package now is called wodim) will do the trick.
Something like
wodim -fix
should work.
