Generally, when a dvd will play on one device, e.g. your computer and not on another e.g. a standalone player, it is due to disk incompatibility. Standalone player are more finicky than computer DVD players. What brand of media are you using, is it +R or -R, have you tried booktyping (bitsetting) +R media. TY or Verbatim +R media that is booktyped will generally play on all devices.

Basically use better media, and u r finding out why cheap media is cheap.
The best chance u have of ur dvds playing is using Taiyo Yuden or verbatims, as they are the most compatible.

u might need a firmware update for ur burner and that might help with the current media u r using.

BTW u can get the best media for about the same price as the other crap.

as far as booktyping goes, first u need a burner that does it, then u need +R dvds, it looks like u r using +,-RW's though.
they are nexxtech rw,

that could also be the reason why ur player doesn't play them.
if u post ur Burner make,model and firmware we can tell u if the burner is capable of booktyping.

so the easiest thing to do is try -R's as they seem more compatible then +R's(not booktyped)

one last note, BookTyping changes the dvd format to DVD-ROM which is the universal format for all dvd players, so that is why Booktyping is the best for compatibility
