Well, according to THIS (http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.php?DVDname=Hitachi+HDV+R100&Submit=Search&Search=Search), your player supports DVD-R media not DVD+R. So yes it is a problem with your player.

Yes, as long as your burner supports DVD-R media, then use that. Or purchase a DVD Player that supports the media. If you cant afford a new player, then you just shot yourself in the foot with that DVD Burner you got :p

You can pick up an Apex dvd player for about $60. They play pretty much everything.
