It depends on how your friend originally burned the DVDs. He may have used a method of burning where it can only be read on his machine. When I burn DVDs on my MacBook I use the most compatible method and have no problem reading them on my PCs.

As chscag advised, it is up to the program. For instance Toast, the norm for Macs, the operator can select burn as Mac only or PC/Mac. Looks like he/she may have burnt Mac only.
