Well if the you didn't finalize the disc after burning it. It isn't going to play on anything else but your computer.
Lots of things, burning speed (1/2 the rated speed is a good rule except Taiyo Yuden, 3/4 there), poor media (use Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim with Azo dye, any made in Japan): http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm, ImgBurn is free and can booktype +R depending on your DVD burner.
A lot of devices aren't compatible with DVD+R format. Verify the above suggestions and also that your device can read +R discs.
