Answer 1

obviously you're laptop aint got a built in burner. Use NERO I pay 80$ for it but its good

Answer 2

It's hard to say.

One possibility is that the players don't like DVD+R (DVD-R is more standard).

It's also possible you didn't format as a DVD. Players expect a certain structure including two folders named Audio_TS and Video_TS, and the use of VOB, IFO, etc. format files.

Do some research on DVD structure and creation. Here's a link to get started.

Answer 3

I had the same problem, you can burn music, but you need an actual dvd burner on your computer, even if you burn music, you cant burn videos. Sorryyy
