Keep in mind the lifespan of burned DVDs isn't great. Like if you're backing up stuff, don't make it your only copy. Can't begin to tell you how much stuff I lost over the years because burned DVDs were going bad before they even faded from popularity.
They have these more expensive ones called M-Disc which are supposed to be longer lasting
Admittedly, I am out of touch with what the current offerings are. I don't think I've burned a disc in more than 10 years now.
They're much more expensive but should allay concerns about longevity. I think the burner needs to be explicitly compatible tho https://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-M-Disc-BD-R-Branded-Surface/dp/B011PZALWA
Don't ever burn at over 8x speed if you want it to work in a DVD player, I used to always do 4x. I also used to do encoding into a DVD compatible format separately in Handbrake instead of within whatever burning software I was using.
Definitely wouldn't have thought of this.
I think Makemkv and/or handbrake have the option to make it playable like a standard dvd otherwise it looks like a data disc rather than video
