Make sure you are using the right type of disc for your player. Some players will only read one of the formats (+ or -) but both, others won't read either. DVD-R is still the most compatible format, especially with older DVD players.

First of all, please turn off your anti-virus software and other burning applications which might access the CD/DVD units at the same time. Try a different brand of recordable media. The compability of DVD discs is various and burning DVD-Video is very sensitive to the DVD disc. Here is the information on DVD media compability http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia .

You may get the message "Cannot play copy protected files". DVD production has two basic phases: development and replication.

For DVD videos, you'll want to work with DVD-R or DVD+R rather than DVD-RW or DVD+RW because you may not be able to play DVD RW discs in normal DVD players. If you insist to burn to DVD RW, DVD+RW is recommended as DVD-RW is less stable.
