Many AV equipment DVD players, especially older ones, do not play recordable DVD's very well. I think the media is less reflective or some such and they have trouble picking up the signal. My older Toshiba DVD player will play recordable media until the player gets hot. After about four hours powered on, it starts having errors and video artifacts, with recordable media. My somewhat newer CyberHome player plays just about anything. The still newer Toshiba in the living room doesn't have any problems with recordable media either. But that first oldest player is right on the edge of being able to play recordable disks.
