Try burning the DVD at a lower speed.  If you are using wodim, use
"speed=1" on the command line.

Try buying a completely different brand of blank media.  Start with a
small quantity, so you can determine if that would really help without
spending a lot of money.

Different brands of optical media use different chemicals for their
data layer, because each company that manufactures recordable media
has a patent on its own particular process.  The result unfortunately
is that some brands of media are incompatiable with some burners.
Also some brands of media, even if correctly recorded, are
incompatible with some readers.
