I own a Sony VAIO VPCEA35FL Laptop, and I'm having problems burning CDs/DVDs.
It seems that the burn process itself works, but once the disc is done, it can't be played.
I tried Brasero and k3b, both without success.
Sometimes the TOC can be read without a problem, but the data never is readable.
Also, when I try to play video DVDs, the dvd drive becomes noisier and usually the video stops for a few seconds.
This is a weird behavior, since a couple days ago I was using another O.S. and it worked just fine.
I think that this wasn't a problem using Natty.
What can I do?

First, test your laptop's cd/drive. Insert some running(new is better) disk(cd and dvd) and ensure that it can read/run each disk successfully.
Second, Check disk speed in brasero/k3b before burn the disk. Set disk speed(Dvd : 8X and cd/mp3: 24X). Do not multi-task during burning. That means leave your laptop alone during burning process running.
Edited Version:
What is the error message that brasero or k3b shows?
Again about burning process, after burn dvd brasero automatically eject the drive or shows a warning "Eject the cd drive manually". So if it will not automatically eject then just eject manually.(it is not a major task but should done).
If you can open your written dvd(i know data is not readable) then provide the output:
