A few more possible explanations off the top of my head: 1) the DVD player doesn't support dvd -r (which is unusual) 2) the way the data is written to the disk doesn't allow for decoding on the DVD player 3) It's not a real DVD quality disk that's being created (maybe the software is generating the video files in a format that is viewable on a PC only - windows media for example).
