Two things come to mind:
1) Macs are somewhat finikey as to CD/DVD brands. Try another.
2) It's not unheard of for a Mac burner to get dirty &/or 'crap out'. Try a cleaning disk if a slot loader or lint free rag with alcohol if a tray loader.
Replacement Superdrives are fairly reasonable these days, but an external would be more efficient (faster)

I suffered the same problem and found out that a nice external drive is FAR cheaper and better than the SuperDrive. Yes . . . I know . . . the idea of having a laptop that can "do everything" is a comforting feeling, but you can get three good drives for the price of an internal that may only last you for a year. Seriously.
