Run a Surface Scan. Right-click on the first item in the left-hand
pane and there should be a "Surface Scan" or "Check Surface" or
something like that option available to you (sorry, all of the systems
here with ISOBuster are busy at the moment and can't be interrupted,
but you'll recognize the wording in the menu when you see it).
I would also suggest, if you haven't done so already, that you re-boot
your computer. I've on occasion seen this clear up problems with
reading/writing DVDs on some systems.
Good luck and hope this helps.
P.S. I believe in another message you asked about replacing versus
adding to a compilation. These are both functions which Nero can
perform. In my case, generally, I'll keep adding files to a
compilation until the disc is almost full and then switch to another
disc. When I no longer need any of the files on the first disc, I
erase it (in Nero) and start over with a new compilation on that disc.
I keep ten DVD-RW discs and ten DVD+RW discs around just for this
purpose. I also use both -RW and +RW media to check-out DVD-Video
projects, as this way I'm not wasting a -R or +R disc if I don't like
the results. Note that set top DVD-Video players will usually not play
a disc which hasn't been finalized. Also note that if you wish to
modify a disc's contents in any way, you must initially start off
writing to that disc in multisession mode. I never use packet mode
writing, by the way. Just a personal quirk, I suppose. I don't like
having the extra drivers loading into the system at boot-time.
Again, Terry, good luck to you with this.
