You need to select the correct region and correct format for that region in order for the disk to be recognized and played correctly.
1) Region coding.
DVD discs contain Regional Codes which can be used to prevent the playback of certain discs depending upon the geographical area it is played in. In most instances, discs manufactured in one region will usually play ONLY on players that were manufactured in that same region - this means that discs bought or imported from Japan will not play on U.S. players, and vice versa.
This site will explain and display region coding for various areas
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code
2)Pal or NTSC formats
I believe that region 1 uses the NTSC format and all others PAL.
Depending on the region the disk is going to, the video files need to be either in PAL or NTSC format before burned to DVD disk in order to be played correctly.
DVD shrink(free) can be used to make compliant DVD video files region free or any region you choose (some players need to see a region code in order to play the disk) as shown here.
Get it here:

NOTE: If you have the video files stored on your harddrive and don't want to use shrink to remove region coding, try a handy little application called FreeDVD, you can get it here:

Next, make sure the video files are in the correct format (PAL or NTSC) and then burn to disk. A good application that will do all this for you is ConvertXtoDVD. You can get it here..

It's worth buying if you do this for a living.

Thank to all of you who give a good advise. Let me clear you bit more details.
I am the professional photographer, My main work is doing Wedding function, B'day Party,or any occasion. I am doing my capture, editing & creat DVD in to Pinneacle studio 10. It can work fine, I can record dvd with same software. I can choose for PAL or NTSC option when I capture & it will creat a movie under what i have originally capture. My customer are worldwide. Normally I am using -R dvd [I also tried + R, it will work. Curently my customer staying in 2 country [UK & Nigeria] both countries under PAL system. I am making dvd into PAL systems. but still it is not working.
I had tried DVD Shrink. But my file originaly created into Mpg2. I have got error message, can not read my file.
I had also tried to make dvd into Ulead movie factory & Cyberlink [Basic], it can work on my home panasonic dvd player. but it is not play into my customer panasonic player. When I checked they have PAL-60 version. I also tried any dvd software but no joy.
I will try for Nero 7, and let you know.
I would like buy a software which can work any where in the world, like normal film movie dvd.
If you can advise something.
Thanks in advance.

Does your burner support booktyping +R media to DVD ROM? The universal player format is DVD ROM. Then you have -R and/or +R supported on some players. You can have a player that supports any combination of the formats mentioned, DVD ROM, -R, and +R (some even support RW and VCD). That's why booktyping to DVD ROM is the best method for compatibility for most players. If the video plays on your player and not his, it can only be PAL/NTSC or media compatibility. Assuming his player has no problem and it's not PAL/NTSC causing the problem, then it leaves media compatibility. Record to the region format, I believe you said PAL, and then booktype +R media to DVD ROM for the output. Your customer could have a player that only supports DVD ROM. Why don't you ask what the customers' player(s) support before finishing the DVD you send..

jatinhema,
Do you happen to have either Adobe Premiere or FinalCut. Both will do what you want

Thank you for quick reply.
I will check with my customer, what player did he have. But I don't know how DVD Rom can work. I never burn dvd rom. As far as I know My computer can burn any thing. I have HP Pantiam 4, with 320GB, with double processer with 1014 RAM.
I will check with my customer and let you know....

Booktyping is a function of the DVD burner. Some drives support the function, some don't. What brand and model DVD burner is in your PC?

Use the freeware DVDInfoPro. You can find it online by doing a search. Once you have it installed, open the program. I have the Drive option (in red box top left) selected which gives your drive information. Be sure your burner is selected in the drop down box at the bottom left of the page (mine is a Plextor). At the top of the page click the +RW icon (in the red box with arrow pointing to Book Type Setting). If your burner doesn't support booktyping, then the window won't open. If it does open, select DVD-ROM.

Lite-On drives support booktyping. You can make the change several ways, but the way PacMan777 suggested is the easiest. You can also make the change in your software burning programs. Nero, ImgBurn, DVD-D, and I am sure many more if not all of them.

Any program that has the booktype setting to DVD ROM will work. Once it is set it works whenever you burn with a +R or +R DL DVD. I'm not familiar with some of the software you were using, but DVD Shrink also sets booktyping. I forget if someone already mentioned that or not. Here's a screenshot of where the setting is located.
