I always use k3b for just this reason, i.e. the option to verify the just burned disk. This is particularly important for any install dvd as a corrupted dvd is a fine way to get a corrupted os. The fact that other dvd media works for you suggest strongly that it's a problem with the dvd. try again and make sure to verify the burn, even if the disk can check itself it's entirely possible to have burn errors that produce a correct checksum. i've had just that happen with an update i downloaded and had to download 4 times to get a correct version, the first 3 check summed correctly but had the same defect. Dvd burns frequently go wrong, with my current media/burner they fail 5-10% of the time so far and that's typical in my experiance (though the age of my hardware is doubtless also part of such issues). If it's important, verify the burn, i always do even if it's not code, and absolutely always, always with os install media, just too many opportunities for bizarre unreproducable problems if a couple of bits are wrong.
