So can we clarify...

You can burn data DVDs without a problem, and read them in the laptop

You can burn movie DVDs and OTHER players see them, but not the laptop

When you burn the DVDs, are you trying to read it without the disc
being ejected between burn / reads ? - sometimes Windows will not
refresh the "blank" it used to have until its been ejected and
reinserted.

Have you tried any other methods of accessing the data on the DVD,
such as ISO Buster ? (it might see it where other software fails,
possibly due to a Windows problem).

Have you tried any other burning software, just in case its a problem
with Nero ? (its not set to simulate the burn is it ?)
