It looks like your DVD drive did not recognize the disc.  Do you have
cdrecord installed on your notebook?  Can you check whether cdrecord
-toc finds a table of contents?  Can you mount it on the desktop where
you burned it?

No, not really.  Most DVDs contain a UDF filesystem instead of ISO9660,
but you can also have a UDF CD-R/CD-RW (writen in packet mode).  And you
can have a DVD containing ISO9660.

So it's definitely ISO9660.  BTW what did you burn it with?

BTW I know nothing about DVD-Rs.  I'm assuming they resemble DVD-ROMs from
the software side just like CD-Rs resemble CD-ROMs.

Everything you read in newspapers is absolutely true, except for that
rare story of which you happen to have first-hand knowledge.
