A dvd burner will burn anything you tell it to burn, the things is you need certain programs to see what the extension was that you burnt.
EX- if you burn a DIVX file, windows media player won't see it, but it will see a WMP file.
The most important thing is the burning software, makes it easy to burn boot, ISO files, video.
But like I said, a DVD burner will burn anything you tell it to burn.
Maybe it's because your PC does not have DVD player software which has DVD decoder. Try to play the DVD on some other players. You could download some free DVD player programs.
SOURCE: How do I burn a DVD of a file on my PC desktop?
use cd writing software like nero or ashampoo
ashampoo is a light version
you can use inbuilt writer software if you are using vista and higher
just drag the file to your drive in xp or higher to burn the disk
SOURCE: generic errors only burns 75% of file ; happens on bith internal & external DVD RW
Very possible you got a bunk batch of blank media. But could also be the burning program itself (IE NERO) Try to reinstall what ever program you are using

HI THERE,
• Do you have any third party CDDVD burning software?
• Are you able to burn DVD's using windows explorer?
First I would suggest that you try burning using another DVD and check if it works.
Method 1
Try one or more of the following:
Verify that the DVD burner is connected properly to your computer and powered on, and that any necessary software drivers for the DVD burner are installed. You can check your hardware settings in the Device Manager by doing the following:
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Hardware and Sound.
3. Click Device Manager.
• Make sure that the videos you're trying to burn are not corrupted. To see whether the videos you want to burn is corrupted, try playing or viewing them using Windows Media Player. If the files don't play using the Player, Windows DVD Maker cannot burn them.
• Choose a slower burning speed for your DVD burner by doing the following:
1. Return to the Add pictures and video to the DVD page, and then click Options.
2. In the DVD burner speed box, select Medium or Slow.
