Sounds like the DVD player isn't able to read the DVD disk. Some older
players are not compatible with some kinds of computer DVD disks.
Best advice for older players is to use a DVD+R disk. The brand of DVD
disk also might be important. I had an older DVD player for which some
brands of DVDs could be read only on about 20% of the burned disks,
whereas other brands could be read nearly 90% of those disks that were
burned.
My advice for brand: for single layer DVD, use the Taiyo Yuden brand.
For dual layer, use Verbatim.

A friend sent a video DVD on which he had put some home movies. It
wouldn't play in the DVD player/TV set, but played OK in the computer.
What's the correct way to burn a DVD video so that it can be watched
on either a computer or stand-alone DVD player? Any suggestions will
be greatly appreciated.
Windows XP
DVD read only disc
Thanks in advance,
