Windows 10: Help witth DVD burning

Hi, I recently copied an 8MM reel to an SD Card can only copy directly onto an sd card, not usb or anything else and now I wish to transfer that from the SD card to a blank DVD-r, I have done this in the past no problems but now I am having issues with the DVD working on a DVD player. It's working no problems on a computer have tried on desktop plus 2 laptops but it is not working on my DVD player. When I say not working, it's not even showing up on the DVD but if I put said DVD back in a computer it is there. I'm either getting forgetful or do I need to change any file or format or someth
