Could be a media issue. What do you mean burned with dvd shrink that program doesn't have a built in burning feature. Could you tell us the media id? Media id could be in the DVD Decryptor log.

1. Disk upside down :)
2. burning speed 16x ;)
3. media incompatibility with DVD-recorder
4. DVD player not able to play DVDRs (some JVC to name names)
5. bad authoring

With a plenty of details you gave us, no wonder the answer is so simple and exact.

I'm using the same disks that work when I burn it using windows XP, just can't seem to get to work with Vista and this laptop is newer that the other one, the disk is 8X the movies will play on the vista and come up as invalid disk on my home DVD player

Item 2, 3 or 5.
Item 2 - due to their size, the laptop burners cannot cope very well even with a 4x burning speed. Try using 2x if 4x does not solve the problem. The operating system has very very very little to do with the DVD - in practice you should have the same results in vista as you had in XP.
Item 3 - you said you changed the laptop, the DVD burner is implicitly another one. A comparizon is futile.
Item 5 - maybe the tools you used have difficulties with vista (I don't use vista, it's even worse than Millenium - my personal opinion is that it was a test to see if the consumers can accept a DRM oriented OS).
