Can you use bittorrent to download the files? It provides a hash-check of the file as part of the transfer so you can be more certain that the download is correct.
The other question is that your burner might be doing something weird.
It is certainly very strange that the disks work fine in VMWare, but the rest of the clues point to a bad disk.
