Burn as a single session. And ensure that the session is closed.

Not all DVD-ROM drives will recognize every type of DVD. DVD-Rs have the best chance of being recognized on both the Windows and Macintosh platforms.

Check drive manufacturer's data to see what your Mac drive will accept. And burn data as a single session.

More information available at various web sites, including:

And there's a pdf at:
