Ripping is a term used to copy data from a DVD/CD to a Hard Drive and Burning is writing data from a Hard Disc or a storage medium to a DVD/ CD..
Now there are only a few codecs or versions of media that a DVD player understands, older DVD players don't even understand the DivX format which is pretty much common these days.. e.g a older DVD players are not capable of playing MPEG 4, 3gp formats. The movie needs to be either in a dat file (video CD) or a vob format (standard movie DVD).
You basically need a software to convert it into a DVD format for using on a DVD player, for that you need a coverter that can convert it into VOB format. I am not aware of any free software's but I use the Nero Recode to do this.
Windows MP just burns the disc into a CD/DVD without changing the format that's why some DVD players can't read the Disc..
You can try googling for such a software, recode the disc into an Video CD format (if it's below 600 MB) or a vob file and then the disc will work..

Remove the DVD disc and insert a blank DVD-R disc into the disc tray. Click "Load" and then the red button that says "Burn."
