Play it on a PC with a DVD player. As Erica said .Use DVD player 
software installed on said PC. Don't try to play TS folders with 
QuickTime. Don't rename anything after iDVD burns your disk. Wait until 
the data is fully encoded from DV (camera. firewire) to Mpeg2 (DVD ) 
before inserting disk and burning. Beyond that a DVD is  aDVD. Play it 
with a DVD player whetther standalone or software based.
