Here are some things I would try (none of which could help).
- logs:  the burner software might have a log of what it did, and I would review 
that.  Also look in the windows event log for problems relating to the burner or 
disk, and make sure that the folder/files do not have an internal problem, such as 
a failing CRC.  I had a disk that had a bad spot that caused "silent" errors that 
only showed up in the windows event log.
- look very carefully at the folder/file naming, for names that do not meet windows 
naming specification, i.e., path name limits, excluded characters in the file name 
- but work ok when you access the file - but do not work within the burner caching 
process.
- visit the burner manfuacturer's web site to see if there's a forum that might discuss 
your topic.
- isolate the exact failure.  then copy that folder/subfolder to another area and 
see if the copy works, and then try another burn.
Good luck and HTH -
