Two reasons;
1. You bought the cheapest discs available.
2. You recorded them at faster than 1x or 2x.
Number 1 speaks for itself. If you want good quality discs with a high
degree of quality control, you have to spend more money.
As for the second, the faster the disc spins, the less time the laser has to
burn pits. Thus the pits are "fainter" compared to a disc burned at 1x or
2x.
Moral of the story; buy a name brand disc, and burn it at the slowest speed
possible.
