for a 64-bit version of Debian for a PC, you'll want to download the
"amd64" version.

If you're continually seeing errors after burning the image, that must
be a local problem. All the CD burning software can be doing is
comparing what you've written to the image file you have. If there's a
difference there, that can't be a problem with the image we've
produced.
