This might seem odd, but if you're burning to DVD. Check the polarity of the DVD you're using...

DVD-R is the industry standard, however, a competing standard was released, confusingly labelled DVD+R and although all DVD writers write to DVD-R, not all do DVD+R. I found this out after buying 10 dual layer DVD+R disks and couldn't burn to them. It would start, get about 10% way through and spit out a useless disk. Normal DVD-Rs and CDs burned fine.

I have my suggestions for apps to try burning with.

Freeware
ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/
OpenSource
InfraRecorder: http://infrarecorder.org/

Also, this may seem quite "PC whisperer", but listen to your drive. You should notice when it keeps missing information in burning or reading by a noticeable but low level clicking when the laser stutters over the data. If it happens a lot in both reading and writing, go get your money back from the store or demand a replacement.
