I've seen some weird things like that.  One thing I noticed is that if I burned CDs on the maximum speed, they'd often read okay in my PC, but other CD-ROMs and CD players might have trouble reading it.  I found that it was best to burn CDs at the slowest speed available, and that generally helped.
