I want to burn a video to a dvd-r disc for a friend that I trade classic tv show episodes with.
I have a new computer with windows ten and even with a dvd-r blank disc windows ten still insists on making it dvd-rw
My friend doesn't want a dvd-rw disc he wants dvd-r's for his collection. What do I do?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

DVD-RW are rewritable. You can write to them, erase it, write again, many times.
DVD-R can only be written to once. You can't magically turn a DVD-R into a DVD-RW, no matter what Windows says (or, possibly, how you're misinterpreting what Windows says).
The differences are explained here.
Just do as davexnet suggests and use ImgBurn for the job. -

Manono,
I don't want to change a dvd-rw to a dvd-r disc. I want to burn a video file to dvd-r but windows 10 will only do dvd-rw. -
It sounds like you are trying to use Win10's packet-writing (aka disc as a removeable hard drive) capable utility.
You do NOT want't to do that.
First, it is wasteful of bytes (overhead for packet transition sectors).
Second, that is not the type of disc format that DVD players expect (udf 2.50+ vs. Dvd-video's micro udf 1.02/bridge).
Third, as you have found out, it only works fully & properly when you use RW discs.
Again, use a proper Disc-at-Once burning app, such as ImgBurn. It also recognizes proper dvd-video folder structure, so it puts it in the proper sector order on disc, and makes it udf1.02-compliant.
Also, I note you said "video file". But a proper dvd is a structured arrangement of certain files in a certain folder, with certain properties. Not just some "video file". It needs to be authored (and compiled) first.
