did you finalize the disc?

If you can't even read finalized discs, try different media. Some drives are quite finicky about the types of discs they'll accept (and in my experience, Apple/Matsushita drives are more troublesome in this way than most others are). Aside from the -R vs. +R question, there's also -RW and +RW. And even within those types, different brands/speeds may behave differently.

Generally speaking, higher quality media will give you less trouble (big surprise, huh?), but you may still encounter difficulty. Some experimentation may be in order.
