i have had dvds that you couldn't see the menu but could see the button move around---others had the same disc, some even got it from me and it worked fine--i think it might have to do with the software used to author the disc/player compatability

on the other hand was the disc originally a dual layer disc?
one type, i think -r can hold more info then the other, try burning on a -r disc if you are using +r or vice versa
