YOU HAVE TO "FINALIZE" THE DISC ON THE MACHINE IT WAS BURNED ON TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER PLAYERS.

yes it will work….because a Digital Video Recorder generally records the content that you selected in a DVD-Player friendly format. so all you gotta do is pop that disc in and play it!

Yes, like the answers above, you need to close (finalize) the DVD blank media. What the recorder does is create a tail end of information to let other consumer DVD players know how to play it. Also for more compatibility, you need to write at least 1GB file size to work in a lot of DVD players.
