hello,
this is my first computer with burning capability. i used roxio dvd creator 6 to burn 4.5gb on a fujifilm dvd+rW 4.7gb disc. the files i burnt were a mixture of avi and wma. when i went to play it on my Govideo vcr/dvd player. I received the error "unknown disc". i checked the documentation for the player and it stated it would play DVD+RW discs. so my question is what should i do now?

It says it reads DVD-R/RW and you say you used DVD+RW media.

Did you just copy those files to the disc, or did you actually render them to be DVD compliant?
