Just off the top of my head, make sure you finalize them when your burn
them. I've had experiences where an un-finalized CD doesn't work in other
CD drives in the past. I just recently started in with DVD-burning to make
better use of my CD-case space and haven't tried using an un-finalized DVD
in a different drive than the one it was burned in.

They were written with what program? CDRW or CDR media?

Sure it will. A DVD reader is a DVD reader. It will READ + or -.

Heck, it's not even a burner.

I assume you mean DVD+R and not DCD+RW and that the disks were not recorded
with InCD?
Are you using the same software on your Dell?

I have a Aopen DVD+RW drive which is a rebadged Ricoh MP5240A I
believe and Nero writes DVD coasters with this drive. The burns
complete without error according to Nero, but the discs are not
recognized by any DVD player or DVD-/+RW drive. Nero will show the
track info, but Windows and DVD players will not recognize any data on
the disc.

I just tested the same drive with Deepburner and it works flawlessly
with that program (discs burns and can be played in both computer and
entertainment DVD player.

I think Nero has a problem with this particular model burner. I cannot
even use Nero to burn CDRs on the Aopen/Ricoh unit. Most CDRs are spit
back out by Nero as unrecordable discs, but Deepburner burns the same
CDRs in the drive just fine. I was going to replace the drive, but I
replaced Nero instead.
