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?
