Step one: Unplug the player, then plug it back in and hit the eject button. The problem with most set top dvd players is that they will work with some brands of dvdr's and not others. I have a few in my living room and have been experimenting with each one to see which brands it likes. If the dvd is succesfully burned, try it out on your pc, if this works then most likely your set top player does not like this brand.
As far as nero, how did you download it? are you using a demo, bought copy, or *gasp* one obtained by other means?
I use DVD Shrink all the time, and it generally handles my needs. When it doesn't, DVD Decrypter should do the rest. Nero is excellent for burning, I also use ImgBurn, another free program.
Also, since you are new to DVD burning, search on Google for DVD burning forums. There are plenty around, full of people who have been doing this for years.
