TV will not play a DVD I made

Last fall we were on a cruise where the entertainment was bands from the 60's. Like the Beach Boys, Four Tops, Drifters, Righteous Bros etc. I recorded a few shows on my cell phone like 98% of the audience. I forgot about it till yesterday. I went into my ICLOUD account, and downloaded one of the videos to my computer. All went well, the video played on my computer. Then I used NERO BURNING ROM 10, to burn the video to a DVD disc. That went well also, and the DVD disc plays on my computer. I then placed the DVD into my DVD /CD recorder, (stop laughing, I still have one), but the disc did not play on the TV. I got some kind of error. Not sure what it said. Then I remembered in the past when I would record a show from the TV to a DVD in the DVD recorder, I had to FINALIZE the disc. I found the instructions to FINALIZE the disc, but when I got to the last step, the option to FINALIZE was listed, but it was greyed out, and I could not choose it Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong, or forgetting ? Thanks, Mike

Did you create a DVD-Video disc or just burn the video file to disc? If its the latter, most players don't know what to do with that.

I chose the first option under DVD. Which was DVD-Rom (ISO) I was going to go back and choose another option like DVD-video, but Nero does not recognize much anymore. On the right side after I open Nero, there are many options. The default one is open "All supported compilations and images " There is next to nothing that is open. If I choose the last option to open "ALL" then I see all the files and videos. The only problem is it will not leave me drag anything to the left side to burn. I can not even duplicate what I did in the first place. It just looks different. I removed Nero, and reinstalled it, but no change.

Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing?
