DVD not playable

I am burning my video project onto a DVD-R. After it displays "Burn complete", I insert it into my DVD player - but it says not playable. Is another step needed to finalize the disk? Any common problems?

I am using PE14.

    Yes, the same package of disks. I tried to burn with PE 11 times, all same package, all not playable.


    Well, maybe instead of trying to figure out why, you should just go with what works in this case.

    Can you play the DVD in your computer's disc drive after installing the great free program VLC Media Player?

    You do not need to finalize a DVD that's been output from Premiere Elements. However some disc players do not play home-burned discs well and some brands of home-burned discs are not as reliable as others.

    But first see if the disc will play on your computer with VLC Media Player. After that, we'll help you troubleshoot the problems.

    Thanks Steve. I installed VLC Media Player. It plays the DVD -- sort of -- not well. It sputters, stops, and hums.

    I'm using a new blank Verbatim disk.
