you don't say what burning app you're using, but in this case I think it
may be irrelevant. You also don't indicate whether there was any error
output, even if it completed okay. So i'm stabbing in the dark here:

If you have one good dvd and/or the original image still, then try again
with another disc. I have found (and had conformed by the k3b developer)
that dvd burners are VERY fussy about media. I bought a spindle of
cheapies once and had to throw out more than half as coasters :-( With
good media (eg, verbatim, etc) I have near 100% success. HTH.
