Burnt DVDs are not playing on DVD player

I'm running windows XP and im using DVD Architect Studio 5.0
I've been trying to put my videos on DVD so i can watch them on a DVD but whenever i finish burning them and try to play them it dosen't work. I also tried playing them on my Xbox 360 but it dosent work on that either.
does anyone know how i can fix this?

P.S. the disk im using to try to burn them on is "Verbatim DVD-R" and the videos are in .wmv and .mp4 format. But they worked fine before.
I also tried it on a memorex DVD+R disk but it didnt work on those either.
please help.

and also, i have 80GB left on my C drive so i dont think thats a problem...
and 1.5GB on my D drive (i think that's ram)

if you need anymore information to help me fix this, just ask...

**UPDATE**
I just installed the update for DVD Architect 5, nothing really changed at all. I already tried burning my project on 7 disk but all of them failed differently. Either one says the burn was successfull
or i get an error message saying:

"Unkown Error (8007045dh)"

or

"The device filed to accept the command within the timeout period. This may be caused by the device having entered an inconsistent state or the timeout value for the command may need to be increased"

i dont really understand those... but please help <3

What are you trying to do? Make a standard DVD? or make a Data DVD carrying video files like .wmv and mp4.???????

Your production workflow please?

FYI - Standard DVDs are Mpeg2 video streams only!

FYI - You can only test standard DVD's for QA on set-top players - not PC's or PS3 or XBox or anything else - set-top players are your goto.

well i was trying to make a standard DVD with menus.
not a data DVD.
and not a blueray DVD

what do you mean by production workflow?
there just videos i made with the sims 2 videos. (im 17 and its just a hobbie i do) im not selling them...

and why cant they work on xbox 360? it has a DVD port and my old DVDs worked on it. they were burnt with DVD studio also...


ALSO, the mp4 file worked fine on the last DVD i burned. it played fine on my xbox 360. but now its just starting to act up...
