Try downloading VLC MEDIA PLAYER onto your computer and try playing the DVD-R with that application. I use that application to play all my DVDs and it works very well, and best of all it's completely free.
You can read about, check out user reviews, and download the program for free from CNET.COM at the following direct link:

Recorded DVD-R should be finalize first in the recorder to make the DVD-R playable in your PC.
On the manual of your Sylvania recorder find the steps on finalizing the disc after completing the recording.
You also must have a DVD player software installed in your PC in order to play it. There is a limit format of files that a windows media player can play in windows. Suggested player is PowerDVD player that can be downloaded free in the internet.
Good luck!
if that is the case, you should try to play the dvd-r on other PC with DVD rom (for us to verify if your dvd-rom can not read the dvd-r disc. If the dvd-r disc played on other dvd-rom then the lens of your current dvd-rom could be needing a cleening.
Figure the way to access the lens, using a cotton bud moistened with alcohol.
try using this software download and install it on your PC once installed update it online here's the link
Let me know if it works..

The DVD is finalized and can be played in the Sylvania recorder. Also I have a power DVD player already installed in my computer and I can see or play all other DVD.
I can not fixed the problem. As you said, I played the dvr-r in my other computer and the problem is the same.
Both computer said that "The disk is empty", no video can be read or play. Why?
I can play in both PC others DVR very well. And I can play the DVD-R very well in TV with the Sylvania recorder but not in my pc.
I install the cnet software you said but is the same situation. The recorded DVD in Sylvania recorder can not be seen. Others DVD can been played.
My owners manual says that the "Recorded Signal - digital video (MPEG2)" and also says that "output signal format: NTCS color". Can this information help you to solve my problem?
