I've had this problem, but note my newbie status. DVD ROM players are much more sensitive than stand alone players to any particle, smudge, write error or ignoring read and write errors while burning. Also, stand alone players do not need software to play, so you need to add that into the equation.
Try, if you are not, to have NERO verify the media while burning. (Check the box) See how many errors come up.
Take a closer look, sometimes I have to use a magnifying glass, and you might see what I call "Hotspots" because they look remarkedly similar to "hotspots" all you mechanics know about on rotors and clutch plates.
If your PC is running hot (What is your CPU Speed?) it can cause your burner to act up, just as any power surge can make your burner's laser to get too hot. Thus the Hot spots. Some of my DVD's that have these hot spots tend to show what your pictures show, but some do not. I will immediately know what causes the hang you describe. Everytime I take the media out, sure enough, hot spots, and occasionally what you see. (A hot spot is just a slightly darker mark anywhere on the newly burned surface. The are usually no bigger than half the size of your pinkie fingernail.)
How Did I fix this? In my case I switched back to DVD-R's and the problem went away. But I wasn't satisfied, I wanted DVD+R's; there supported right? (That's what I said to myself)
So I went into my power management settings, (mine are controlled by Toshiba's utilities) but you can use CMOS, and slow down the CPU speed if you can, and set everything to run real cool).
If all of this fails to solve the problem...You need a new burner. they are cheap. Go get one. Take it back if the problem persists.
If you have a magnifhying glass, look for those hotspots, that can cause the burning process to go out of whack, i.e, not perfectly circular.
How did I do Pete?
When in doubt, use a hammer. When further in doubt, find a bigger hammer.
