I have personally seen only 2-3 bad ones in a row, but since it  
essentially entirely random, there are two basic approaches: Keep going  
through the pile until one works, or assume it was a bad batch and throw  
away the lot.

Also consider that perhaps the burner just does not get along well with  
these discs; sometimes a firmware upgrade can help with that. Keep in mind  
that buying the same brand/label that you used before does not guarantee  
that the discs are the same.

Additionally, as TC pointed out, make sure the image itself is not bad.
