Burning DVD will play on computer but not DVD player
Burned a DVD and it will play on my laptop but not on my DVD player. I have searched the community and the fixes that are suggested in similar posts don't help. I am enclosing my system specs. The DVDs burn very quickly which I know isn't right. I have bought a huge pack of Verbatim DVD+R Life Series RW DVDs so would like to figure this out.

If you are trying to create a video DVD that will playback on practically any DVD player, you'll need specialized software in order to convert your files to the proper DVD Video format. Dragging and dropping video files onto a disc will not work, unless you have a fairly modern player that can playback data DVDs and a variety of file formats. Otherwise, videos will have to be converted into a MPEG2 stream as .VOB files and structured correctly with an associated .IFO file.
Also note that most older DVD players may have issues reading recordable discs, particularly DVD +R/+RW if the player was made prior to 2005. Furthermore, make sure that the recorded disc is finalized when finished and is using a compatible file system, which in most cases would be UDF for DVDs.
