I quit trying to burn with MF4. It just doesn't work, because the system hangs. I tried the following: I created DVD folders and then burned them to a disk. The problem is: if the disk is a DVD+RW, it's OK. If it is a DVD+R, I can't play the disk in a normal DVD Player.
What might it be?

It still sounds like the original answer might be the right one.
"all other purposes" doesn't begin to express the combinations of issues possible. If you knew, you likely would have been more specific... but that's guessing
Did you actually try burning a DVD-R for this player? And do you have a different DVD+R that actually did play on the player?
AND If so: have you analyzed the discs to see which booktype, file system, ratio of unburned edge, bitrate, whether the audio encoding is standards compliant, video encoding is standards compliant, video resolution is standards compliant, etc.
The last thing I got woken up to was, yes Booktype can matter a lot.
There are many players that faltered on one of my disks. Then I switched to DVD+R, and found that you can set it's booktype to DVD-ROM (i.e., you can lie about it). And Nero automatically lies for you, sets the booktype DVD-ROM. Oops says I, that's not good.
But it was good. The reluctant players instantly wagged their tails when the booktype was changed to DVD-ROM.. This was crucial ONLY for this one disc. In many other cases, the same player was happy with DVD-R booktype.
These readers evidently can use a very complicated algorithm to validate a disc. Just because a factor does not appear to matter in one case, doesn't mean it won't bite you tomorrow, with all the same hardware involved.
You pretty much need a checklist of a dozen variables to maximize your chances on all fronts.
