Optical media is more and more becoming a complete headache. Have you
considered installing from USB stick instead?
Anyway, for inconsistent errors (now works, now doesn't), sometimes is
better to replace the DVD drive for a new one (specially when is "old"
for today standards which means 4/5 years), and given their current
prices (~25€) that's something affordable.
Ouch!!, at least try different media first, some media are problematic
with some DVD/CD drives (according to some stuff I've read)
