I've also had the problem with some disks. I'm not certain, but it seems to me that if I leave a pack of disks in sunlight for a few hours the top disk doesn't burn. Could be a red herring, but...
Think about how a CD works. There are two layers of clear plastic with metalized sheet in between. When a laser hits the metalized layer it darkens it. These little dark spots, or lack there of, make all the 1's and 0's. Now if you leave on out in the sun for a little while guess what happens. A laser is really nothing more than light. A lot more focused and locally intense, but light. I bought a LARGE pack of CD's from a national computer store, won't mention the name but it ends in USA. Almost half the discs were unusable. AND, I never knew that CD's had to be formated but everyone had to be formated before burning. Finally got through that and bought a pack with a better brand name. Much better result. Can't say I didn't make a coaster or two out of them but they were good to start with. I guess it's true: "Caveat Emptor".
