unfortunately, i’ve burned DVDs that work ok on my machine, and on one
of my buddies machine, but not on another…
unfortunately, disk burning with consumer level hardware is NOT a
perfect science…
unfortunately, readers seem to read commercially burned disks more
often than home burned disks…
unfortunately, burners don’t burn well for very long…longest i’ve
had one last was about two years…
google will find you about ten jillion other answers…

Thank you for your response and I expected something more scientific. google gave me little to use, that is how I’ve asked here. -j
Any CD burned on any Mac?
I burned the two openSUSE DVDs (32 and 64 bits) on an iMac and was able to use only one of them. I don’t have a ‘more scientific answer’ to your question.

what do you not understand? you are in the wrong place for scientific
answers on the Mean Time Between Failure (MTFB) of cd/dvd hardware:
try Tom’s Hardware (bookmark it)
this is about as scientific as i can get:
home CD/DVD burners work ok sometimes, for a while, but not always…
and, most of them don’t work ok for very long…
and, most of them will throw out disks which will work on some
machines but not others…
heck, even very expensive commercial burners make bad disks from time
to time…
