Your player is not dvd-r compatible

It wouldn't be a matter of brands (Maxell is a generally good brand). One possibility is that there are two different types of recordable DVD: DVD-R/-RW and DVD+R/+RW. There was an unresolved format war between the "+" and "-" formats, with the outcome being that most (but not all) DVD devices today are capable of using either format (usually it's recorders that are more picky). Some DVD players (particularly older ones) play DVD-R discs better, because that came out first. Another possibility is that the disc isn't finalized, but I can't say because I am not familiar with "Express Burn" software.

It may be that your DVD player is not DVD-R compatible (as several have already suggested) but there are other possibilities such as your player may be physically capable of playing DVD-R disks but the firmware in your player may be checking the "Book Type" of the disk to see if it is a DVD -- most older players checked the book type and expect to find DVD-ROM or they reject the disk. Most DVD writer drives can set the Book Type if the writing software tells the drive what to set. The better software (such as Nero) now defaults to setting the Book Type to DVD-ROM on both -R and +R disks when burning them as video DVDs.
You can get a lot of information about what your player can and can't do at http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers.php
Elsewhere on the same site you will find other information about burning DVDs and forums where you can ask more technical questions.

You either have an old out-dated DVD player, or you haven't finalized the disc.

Your DVD Player likely doesn't support DVD-R. Not all do.

matters if the dvd has been properly encrypted for play on a dvd player. use dvd decrypter and dvd encrypter they are both free. check them out they work great i use the dvd's on any player it recognizes them just like a normal dvd.

When you´re burning your DVD, the software has to ask you about the type of writing, multisessions or one session. if you have chosen multissessions, this implies you have to "close" the dvd, to be read in many DVD readers...
If you only have written the dvd in one session, then it´s possible your dvd reader can´t read that type (-R) but, this format is quite common.
Good Luck!

The DVD player you have, has to be DVD-R compatible. I know this sucks, but it is true.
