In my understanding, verification compares each bit on your hard drive to each bit that is written to the DVD. If a certain number of bits are different, it fails.

I have had some fail too, and played them in my DVD player just fine. If it's backup data, I probably would reburn. If it is a movie, maybe not.

It's up to you how seriously you should take the warning.
