What you experienced is a common problem. Take care that the DVD+R disks are
not playable in many of the home entertainment type DVD players. It is
mostly the computer DVD units that can decode the +R standard. It may be a
good idea of upgrading the DVD player in your computer. The +R is not a
popular standard, and is decreasing in its popularity.


Only half the story, I think :-)

If you record a DVD +R disk, you need to 'finalize' it.

Finalize is just a function on your recorder; it only takes a few
minutes. Results:
- you cannot change or append anything on the disk afterwards and
- You can play the disk on almost any player.
