A caveat that should be in a larger font and brighter color with underlining and bold turned on will tell you that not all DVDs created in any given DVD burner will work in any given DVD player, even if it is properly finalized to maximize its compatibility. They may not even work in different models (older or newer) of the same brand burner it was created in. Sometimes, even the brand name (or generic name) of the disc can make a difference. The best guarantee for compatibility is to use a brand name disk recommended by the burners manufacturer, burn at a slower than fastest speed, and finalize the disk at the end of the recording. Even the + or - and R or RW can make a difference. How do you know which to use? Trial and error.
