dvd burning problem

I burned a DVD project in Adobe Encore. The burn dialog box said that the dvd would be compadible with set-top players and dvd-roms. The disc won't work in PowerDVD, but works in other free dvd playing programs. In PowerDVD when I press play, the screen resizes as if it were going to play the DVD, it flashes black, and then stops. This wouldn't be a problem accept for this----> I've submitted numerous copies of this disc to DiscMakers. It's a movie that my company made. They seem to like to test it out on PowerDVD. They keep telling me that it works just fine on their standard DVD players, but it fails when put in their DVD-ROMs. What's the deal? Any help would be nice.

- Try WinDVD ... thats the "other" DVD playing program, see how that goes. This allows you to determine if it's a computer/disc thing or it's a PowerDVD thing
- Does PowerDVD read the disc as being there (i.e., click that button thingy and does the Disc show up?)
- What drive do you have? How fast did you burn it?

yes

The DVD "shows up" in PowerDVD. It just jacks up when you try to play it. The point is, it works on other programs. It must be a PowerDVD problem. That sucks. I'm not on the PC with the DVD Burner on it right now. Although it's not a very nice one. Not name brand or anything. This, I've been told could be the problem, so I burned a copy on an NEC burner. We haven't sent it in yet, but we're hoping it works. All DVD's are burned at 1x all of the time. Anything else???
