Cannot play DVD's on different recorder

I made DVD's from VHS tapes on a Sony RDR BX 530. I can only play the DVD's on that player. Will not play on computer or another recorder. How can I get these to play on other recorders.

RDR-VX515 is playing VHS tapes at an accellerated speed. I see the counter going fast and it sounds like the chipmunks.

the rubber inside spinning the tape must be worned out and needs replacing.

Our Sony dual recorder has been spitting out the vhs tapes after a couple of mins being played. And no shows are being recorded.

First, make sure you got a good quality tape. Bargain tapes can destroy a recorder before its time. Run a Cleaning Tape to get rid of dust on rollers.
