Try doing an md5checksum on all the files on the disc.  If there are disc 
errors, these will error out.  (I have a burner that has been far too 
picky lately.)

If you are burning an iso, there should be a checksum compare in the 
program. (I use k3b.)

Burning video DVDs is where I have the most problems with bad burns.
