Are you burning the disk using Live File System (UDF) format? If so,
you should read the help entry about that, including this bit:
"Before you can use a recordable disc (such as CD-R, DVD-R, or DVD+R)
formatted with the Live File System format in other computers and
devices, you need to close the current disc session to prepare the disc
for use. By default, Windows closes your disc automatically when it is
ejected."
