Solution to problem with PC DVD/CD writer?

I have a DVD/CD writer that came with my Dell computer that I have been using for years that I suspect may have developed a problem. I have been using it recently burning CDs from I-tunes, and DVDs with Microsoft Movie Maker and I noticed just very recently that now some of the DVDs that I'm burning will only work with an older DVD player that I have, and some of the CDs that I'm burning will only work on one of the CD players in our house. I realize that some of the older CD players won't work with discs that you burn on your computer but in both cases these are units that I have used in the past with discs burned on my computer. I'm wondering if the culprit could be the DVD/CD writer, maybe something corrupted with the driver? Wondering if anyone out there has dealt with something like this before? Any suggestions?

    The players are based on format, so what format are you using on the CD-R's MP4 ain't gonna work on your car stereo or your house one either.

    Need to check that just by going to my computer and looking at the drive you put the disk into.
