Sorry, that's the most common reason for ISO problems. I did it myself
years ago, and I've seen countless posts from others who have.
I can't really help about full OS images, I always use the netinstall CD
image https://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ and build a system from there.
The smallest netinstall is only a few hundred MB, it's worth trying one
of those to see if the boot problem still exists. To actually build a
complete system from that does need a reasonable Internet connection,
but just trying to boot it may offer some hint on why a full DVD is
having trouble.
As Brian said, not all the DVDs of a set will boot, you would normally
boot number 1 and install a basic system from that, then install any
further software you want from the other DVDs.
Best of luck.
