Did you finalize the disc? Make sure that you left some space on the disc after dubbing the movies. The finalization adds data onto the disc.
To finalize, put the disc back in recorder. Press Setup on the remote. Use the up/down arrow keys to highlight Disc Edit and press OK. Highlight the Finalize option and press OK. Select Yes and press OK. Wait for the procedure to finish.
In the future when you record, you may want to use the Auto-Finalize option. For more information, look at the manual. The finalize and auto-finalize steps start at page 44. The manual is available here:

If you did finalize the disc, then check that your computer has DVD-playing software. Starting with Windows 8, Microsoft stopped offering the Windows Media Center by default. You could purchase a DVD playback app from the Microsoft store. Alternatively, there are third-party DVD playback programs. VLC is free,

Some DVD players do not read all discs. Some only read DVD-R (DVD-RW) even after the disc is finalized.
I hope this helps.
