I don't think its possible to burn a disk "incorrectly". Seems like 
you've either got bad disk(s) or a hardware problem if it persists 
across brands. I haven't ever had a problem reading a disk that I 
burned, even the off brand disks - but some of the cheap disks have not 
been readable in other computers and DVD players.

Verbatim disks seem to work fairly reliably, and Apple disks seem best.
