Many DVD players do not support CD-R or CD-RW media. You'd be surprised how many by major manufacturers do not. Your best bet before you get started is to check your DVD player in the DVD player compatibility list at www.vcdhelp.com to see if CD-R/W media even works in your player. vcdhelp also has a lot of good guides to help you get started. I should add that vcdhelp was down earlier this week due to too much traffic and I don't know if it's back up or not at the moment, but it will eventually come back up.
