Some (old) players don't read DVD-R discs. Some others don't read DVD+R
discs. So it could also be the media.

Open it on a computer and check the properties. DVDs have (at least) 4
GB on them. CDs have less than 700 MB.
The filenames will also reveal the format of the disc. DVDs have a
folder called "VIDEO_TS", and "*.IFO", "*.BUP", and "*.VOB" files in it.
VCDs have folders like "VCD", "MPEGAV", and "SEGMENT".
