The firt thing to do is the process of elimination.

I take it you are talking about your stand-alone DVD player not playing the disc.

1. Firstly what type of media are you using? Is it DVD-R+ or DVD-R- Does your stand-alone play this type of disc. It will tell you in the manufacturers handbook. If not you need a new stand-alone.

2. Try the disc on a friends machine or try it on your PC. If it works on your PC and a friends machine then it points to your stand-alone not supporting recordable discs.

3. You could try a different brand of DVD-R some machines can be a bit fussy about playing certain brands.

4. If your disc doesn't work anywhere i.e. on PC or friends machine then you may not be backing them up proprerly. In which case you would need to tell us how you are backing them up. What software you are using and how you do it.

BrodyV,

Have you tried playing them on a PC? Because if they play on your PC and not your stand alones it's your media. You can also check media compatibility at http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers

BrodyV,

You've already got it might as well use it.
First update to the most recent version.
http://xcopy.co.uk/updates/?=s76gdfdsd675abcdf565gf65a

Then try:
Making sure IDE settings are set to DMA
Make sure burner is master drive.. Do you have another burner?
Try updating your aspi layer. ForceASPI.

Right click "my computer" --> properties --> hardware tab --> device manager --> ide ata/atapi controllers --> right click primary ide controller --> properties --> click advanced tab. Here check to make sure the transfer mode is set to DMA instead of PIO. Then do the same for secondary ide. If you make any changes reboot.
