DVD's won't play

[trinabeall]

We have recorded movies from our TIVO to a DVD burner. Once on the hard-drive of the burner we burn them to DVD. Some, actually most will not play on my mac. It seams that the DVD +R never play and the -R sometimes play.

The ones that do play open in DVD player, Quick time , and front row.
The ones that do not play, do not play in any program. When it appears in the Desk top I click on the disk and it shows the audio files and the video files in separate folders.
Also I have noticed that the DVD's that do play have a number appearing under the disk when it shows up on the desk top and the ones that do not play do not.

Try VLC Player, free from Versiontracker or MacUpdate, for dvd playback.

And what program are you using to burn the dvds? You may need to change to something else.
