dvd players
hi folks, i got problem here when i use DVDWS some dvd players won't play, do not reconise the dvd that i burned it in ulead...why? there are way to make it universal play? i mean to play in every players in the market? thanks!
I'll amplify a little what Steve says.
Some old DVD players will never play DVD±R/RW discs of any sort, no matter what you do.
Many DVD players refuse to play DVD±R/RW discs if the MPEG encoding exceeds a total (A + V) bitrate of about 7000 kbit/s (this is very common)
Many DVD players will play DVD-R but not DVD+R
A few DVD players will play DVD+R but not DVD-R
Many DVD players will play DVD±R but not DVD±RW
Many DVD players will not play DL DVD±R
There is therefore absolutely no sure-fire guarantee of any burnt disc playing in a given player.
Practically, to put most of the odds on your side for as near best possible quality for the widest range of players:
1. encode the MPEG-2 at, say, 6000 kbit/s CBR and Dolby Digital AC-3 2.0 at 192 kbit/s (projects shorter than ~90 mins)
2. Make sure your encoded MPEG file is no greater than 4.1 Gb (many blanks have hairy outer edges and are damaged in the last few "grooves" by handling)
3. do not mess around with mixing several makes of software
4. choose a good quality SL DVD-R blank (no unnamed cheapos)
5. burn at a speed of ½ the rated maximum or less

I fully agree with Devil's statement above, but I would like to add my 2 pennies worth. I never burn faster than 2x, regardless of the speed of my blanks. Haven't had a problem since except with a german KENWOOD DVD player that absolutely refuses to play -R 
Did not try +R yet because I have no blanks
