If you can set booktype DVD+R to DVD-ROM that will do it.
Don't know if that drive supports booktype setting.You will have to do a search.

I would also read what others had to say about your burner and player:

for writer compatibility search here:

and for DVD player compatibility search here:

What works well on one player may not work on others. A lot of poster here like the Ridata G04 (-) format for just about everytype of player around the world. You could give that a try also.
