After a few attempts of trial and error, we got lucky and got a DVD to burn that
previously would not burn.  The only thing we did that got it working was specify
use the -V option on mkisofs while making the ISO image to burn.  I had previously
not used the -V option when it was not working.  I hope this helps, incase
somebody else has this problem.
