Hi and welcome to macosx.com
The error message clearly states that it is a hardware error. You've got several possible hardware failure items:
1. the media
2. the cable (for an external burner)
3. the drive itself
4. USB or FireWire port (for external drives)
5. the drive firmware, or bridge hardware (for external drives)
It is wise to start with the least expensive items first, and then graduate to the more expensive items.
(1)->So, first try different media. I don't care what brand of media is failing, try different media. Different brands of media just sometimes don't work well with different brands of optical drive. This is just as true of Apple discs as it is of Fuji, Memorex, TDK, Taiyo Yuden, Mitsui, or whatever. WHATEVER brand of media is being used, if you get a message like this, try a different brand. It's a cheap troubleshooting step.
(2)->If that doesn't help, then go to the cable. Swap it out with another one known good.
(3)->If that doesn't help, it's probably your optical drive. I will try to clean the lens with a classic CD Lens cleaner. Does the drive still appears in Apple System Profiler (Apple menu > About this mac > More infos) ?
And in DiskUtility ?
Could you select a slower burning speed and see if this help ?
If this occurs when burning CD-Rs or DVD-R (if you can burn them) or only for DVD-R ?
Could try to burn through software like Toast (comercial) or BurnXfree or Yuburner to see if this error also occurs through such program
