You need to finalize the disk to play it on a standalone player.

i did finalize the disc but i want to transfer it to a dvd-r so it can be watched on any dvd player...and i want to make multiple copies for the family.

It's just a normal DVD rip at that point. Copy the video_ts folder to your computer and then burn it to a DVD-R using imgburn or your preferred software.

the folder contains IFO and VRO files...will it still work? Sorry but i am dumb with these kind of stuff

imgburn will create the necessary files on the DVD if you follow smrpix's advice.
