I used the last of the previous (Memorex) batch to do disk #3. I got no bad burns I'm aware of out of the batch of 50.
Perhaps you got a bad batch. What about the burner?
I used the new batch, a different brand (Office Depot), in a different computer, with a different burner, with wodim (on 11.1 Factory) at 8X, to make a 4th disk, and it also fails the built-in checksum test. I put the 3rd disk, made in the first puter with the first burner (10.2), into the 2nd puter and burner, ran md5sum on it, and got a perfect match to the MD5SUM file content I downloaded for it.
