Failure means, that the original and bit do not match bit by bit.
For videos that might be okay: You will either not notice any
problems at all or just have an occasional optical or audio glitch.
For data, of course, every bit can count.
Generally, if your burn results are bad enough that the error
correction cannot compensate for them, you should probably find other
media which better match with your burner. There are likely other
problems lurking on the disc that are not showing at the moment,
because the DVD's error correction makes up for them. But if aging of
the disk or scratching adds more unreadable bits, then you have
little room for the error correction to handle these problems.
