Having a DVD-R/DVD Player/Burner issue.

So I'm going to explain this as best I can. I had a computer specialist come over and install a DVD burner. It went smoothly, and I went to the store and bought 3 Fuji-Film DVD-R DL discs, 8.5 GB. So I proceed to burn one video of YouTube on it and it flat out does not play on my Philips DVD player. There can't be a reason why this DVD player would not play it. It is a DVD recorder, it records on DVD-R (so unless the fact that the discs are double-sided I don't see why it's an issue to play a burned disc from the computer)
Yes, it does play discs that it recorded itself, just not the computer burned ones. I have known that sometimes it's an issue when you buy a certain brand or type of blank DVD.
I've gone through over 5 free DVD burning programs, a lot just popped up with errors saying it didn't want to burn it. I'm basically all around having serious frustration with this and I want to know what exactly is the problem, is it the disc type, the DVD player or the DVD burning programs? If anyone can give me some advice or tell me what I should do, I'd appreciate it so much. I'm just so out of answers and need help :(
Thanks so much for everyone's time in reading this. I will be happy to answer any questions that might help you be able to help me.
 
Have you tried slowing the burning speed down a little? Have you tried different brand of media?
 
Actually I'm not too sure on how to slow down the burning speed, but is there a free program you can recommend that lets me control that?
And no I haven't yet gotten to try another media disc, it's going to be my next move, but I guess I'm just in awe that this DVD player I own doesn't want to read it. But this other DVD player in my home actually did read it but it was all messed up, it would cut off in the middle of the video clip and start at the beginning.
