Movie for any player ?

This is a general question.
Who could explain to me why the same DVD is not going to give good quality reproduction on any player ?
I have recently made a long, and very nice, movie with FCP, compressed with QT (or compressor).....burn DVDs out of it with DVDstudio Pro and played the DVDs on various players.... Some players gave excellent results, some of them did not. The older player being the best !
I got worried about who is going to see what ....since I have no control on what kind of player the recipients got.
I have been told, and I think that I understand, that bit rate is the key. Also, in previous threads on this subject, I learn that compression is a big business.
OK, but is there a way to avoid this type of problem ?
Are there settings that would ensure reading on most players or minimize the risks ?
No need to say that when we burn DVDs, we use only high grade brands of DVDs.
Thanks a lot in advance

And that's only the player. You also have no idea what type of display they're viewing. It could be a 60" plasma, projection, 12" laptop running Windows 98 or a portable DVD player with 5" LCD screen. Enjoy - stress not. You have no control.
