How old is the drive? The laser on burners tends to have less intensity as they age. When writing data files to a disc the variations are not as critical, but when you are writing complex video and audio files it will become more noticable as time goes by. The strange part of it is the files will look normal to the same drive, but when you play them on another drive (player) they will not play correctly.
If you can remember back to the days of floppy discs, a drive head alignment could get off and as long as you use that floppy in the same drive then there was no problem, but put it in another drive and it was unreadable. This is much the same thing.
