It told you that you have bad media. TDK falls into that catagory. Use quality media, i.e. Tys or Verbs, insure your firmware is current, do not burn at maximum speed and do not multitask while burning.

Like bilbo65 says use good media, burn at most at half rated speed of media, update firmware, do not multitask and use imgburn and not Nero for burning. If using +r media booktype to dvd-rom (imgburn will do this if set- imgburn is compatible with plextors)
