It's hard to say what may have happened. It could be a bad dvd or a dirty lens or your computer was doing something in the backround causing the data to come up false. I've written dvds and had them come up bad. If that happens to me I usually restart my machine incase it's a memory problem and I get a fresh dvd. Often times that will correct a problem. A good choice is rewriteable dvds since you can write over them if there is a problem and I use them now and again for my work here. Another way to go might be to buy a good USB hard drive since there reasonably cheap now. Hope this information helps.
