Windows Media Player won't play all DVD's

I have made a number of DVD's on a DVD recorder/player from my camcorder.
They all will play on the recorder/player, but when I try to play on Windows
Media Player, it won't recognize some , but not all, of the DVD's. Was up?
Thanks for any help. Tom

This may be a problem with your DVD Camcorder not finalizing the discs properly.

I've had cases with Panasonic DVD Camcorders where if you didn't use Panasonic recordable media, you could not play the disc in anything other than the camcorder itself, or another Panasonic device.

I use a friends hard disk based camcorder when I need one, and then "capture" the video first, and then master my own DVDs. Any they always work.
