In most cases they are due to bad burn but it's possible they might be
damaged during shipping. ISO images are ok since you can verify them
with sha1sum.

In some case, I was able to install successfully regardless media
check fail. Go figure. :)
Same as me however is there a way to reduce the number of mistakes
regarding the dvd?
I've checked the iso its fine. I checked with the end user thats fine
as in there is no scratches on the dvd. The only thing it can be is a
faulty dvd. Is there any way to check it apart from booting it up on my
computer?
