You need to finalize the disks in the recorder otherwise 99% of pc drives will not read them.

I had the same thing happen to me awhile back, PC would not recognize a disk that I had burnt with my recorder. I couldn't for the life of me figure it out as I had watched it numerous times on my TV. I finally remembered it wasn't full and I had not finalized it yet. So long story short, I would bet that what varnull posted is the problem.

On the ones I have used it is an option that you have to manually do, but like you said reading the manual will point you in the right direction. Good luck and let us know if it works out.
