I'm not sure what DirectCD does when "closing" CD-R disks (my last PC burner came with Nero instead, and it's direct-CD equivilent doesn't support anything other than CD-RW, and I don't think it has a "close in a standard format" command), but I bet you'll have much better luck creating the CD from CD-creator (or whatever it's called these days) instead...
