Did you check the iso's BEFORE you tried to burn them with the command I
suggested??

Add -avP a source file name and a destination path to the above command line
and it will repair your isos for you. If you add a -n that will allow you to do
a dry-run before doing the real thing, which is not a bad idea if you have never
used rsync before. If you use the wrong options/paths it can do a log of damage.
You have been warned!! :-)
Check the iso md5 BEFORE you try to burn it. If the md5sum is good on the iso
then your burning procedure/hardware is hosed. If the iso is bad all the
burning in the world is not going to fix it :-)
On a linux box run "md5sum -c MD5SUM" and either use the MD5SUM file
you got with your iso's or the one I sent you in the previous message. If you
do not have a linux box to do this on there is a windoze program that will do
the same thing. I do not recall the name but google is your friend.
My guess is that the iso's are actually ok but only you can tell for sure.
HTH,
