I'm sorry, I'm lost--what happened? Did the disc eject? A dialog box opened saying the media wasn't supported? Saying that the project was too long?
Or did it burn/verify successfully, but it won't play on your tabletop/stand alone DVD player?

ya my macbook burned it successfully but my dvd player said "disc not compatible" and if im right i remember imovie saying that it would burn a dvd that doesnt play in DVD players so can you tell me how to burn it so it would play in a DVD player
Yeah, what MrSmith said--+R is a fussy medium for tabletop DVD players. Some accept it, others do not. I think the older the DVD player, the more problems you're going to have. Reburn to a -R disc. I've never had problems with -R in the hundreds of discs I've burned.
Now, if it's a +R DL, there's a problem because I don't think the Macbook writes to -R DL.
Mine says:
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL
But if your project is ~90min in length, it shouldn't need the DL.
