This seems to be the most confusing part. I printed about 50 DVD trailers for a film on DVD-R discs. I figured they'd work for everyone but nearly 40% of the people I gave the discs to couldn't play it on their DVD players or computers, so it worries and confuses me.

Anyone know much about this? I'd just like to get the DVD to play on anyone's or everyone's systems, but I'm running into a few hurdles.

Thanks for any advice,

basically something went wrong, you're gonna have to try to figure out what went wrong.

Did you use a DVD authoring program?

Try checking this:
Is it the correct DVD format, does the burned dvd have two folders (Video_TS and Audio_TS)

I had this problem long ago, I don't know if I had the same problem you're experiencing but with me it basically came down to older DVD players were not set up to read DVD-R without a firmware upgrade. Pretty much every DVD player for the last 5 years should be able to read DVD-R now though.

I still have one Sony that won't. It was cheaper to buy a second DVD player than try to handle the firmware upgrade.

I've been strugling with this problem myself. All mine come out in video CD format. I found that you can get them to play by selecting to play them on windows media player. maybe that will help you out a little.
