Was this your first attempt or have you been successful before using the same process? Are you sure you're using the correct grade of DVD - plus/minus?

Are you sure your dvd player plays dvd-r's or dvd-rw's?

You have not said whether it will not play on your PC or if you are using a DVD player.
what software did you use ?

The file needs to be converted to the correct format for playing on a standard player -- Try and get a copy of 'Nero' it is excellent and will solve your problem.

You have run your video through a video converter haven't you? You can't play a recorded mpeg or avi file; it has to be converted to a file the dvd player understands. VIDEO TS I think it is, though I'm no expert. There should be plenty of free ones available that can handle the conversion.
