Static and deterioration on burned audio CDs

I'm using Nero 6.6.0.13 I got from a torrent to burn audio CDs from mp3 files I have on my hard drive. Some files are variable bitrate, some are constant, but lately, I've been getting really bad discs when I've been burning my cds. I've been using 80-minute Memorex discs, and in the past there have been no problems.

But now, whenever I burn my CDs, the first several songs play perfectly, and then the songs in the middle and towards the end start to have static all over the songs and sometimes it will skip horribly or not even play at all. I tried playing these CDs in several car CD players and in my DVD drives of my computer and they are all fucked.

I've been burning the CDs real slow at 4x speed and caching them or whatever option Nero has before burning. Verification of the CD after burning also shows that it is good, but the CD is really jacked up. Does anyone know why this is happening or what I could do to fix it? I've never had problems burning on this drive before. The only thing I can think of right now is to convert the mp3s to wavs before burning or trying to burn on different media.

This other Nero program shows this when I scanned the burned disc if anyone knows what it means:

Thanks for the tips. How can I know if a dealer is respectable or if the discs I get are actual TY discs though?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
