How are you burning it? If you are using a regular copy command or a drag&drop, it won't work. Instead, you must burn it an an "ISO image" or "image burn".
To recap, the basic safety checks are:
1. Download from a known, trusted site
2. After the download, run the MD5SUM to verify the file was not corrupted in transit
3. Burn the file as an ISO image
4. When burning, don't burn at the top speed, instead burn at a slower speed no matter what the top rated speed of your burner is. Burning at the max possible speed only increases the chances of getting a coaster. IMHO, for a DVD burn at 2X, and for a CD burn at 16X
