How do I burn a dvd which I will be able to play it in the regular dvd player and watch it in the reg tv?

Question

I tried burning a dvd, apparently everything went ok, I can watch it in the pc, but when I play it in the regular dvd player, it just won't run and sends an error message. I don't know what I did wrong, what do I have to do? How am I supposed to burn it to be able to play it in the regular dvd player???
