Hi there,

This kind of problem typically falls into one of the following two categories:

1.) The physical readability of the disc is bad. Some players are struggling to even read the digital data on there properly.

2.) The digital data can be read properly from the medium, but it cannot be interpreted and used properly by the DVD player because it's not in the correct format, meaning it's either not a proper video DVD or in the wrong TV format for your country. Your computer and software player will often be a lot more flexible about this kind of stuff, which is the reason why you can play it on there.


Now, in order to get around the problem, start out addressing point #2: In the disc-authoring stage of the program, make sure that you're actually choosing a standard video DVD to be burned. When you're in the final burning stage, access the MPEG-2 encoder settings and make sure that the program has automatically switched to the correct video format for your country and DVD player. It's either NTSC (e.g. for North America and Japan) or PAL (e.g. for Europe and Australia). If the correct one isn't already selected, change it accordingly. Start the encoding & burning and make sure to re-encode the entire project if you applied any changes. (Otherwise it will just take the previously encoded images files and write them to the disc again. Not really what you want.)

Now that you can be sure that suitable data for your DVD player has actually been encoded, you might need to improve disc readability, if you're still experiencing problems. For this purpose, I'd suggest burning at slow speeds and experimenting with different makes and types of DVD blanks.

I hope this helps!
