After applying the toothpaste and wiping it off, it's not necessary to rinse the disk with a little water?

Grave digging, I know, but for future reference...
 
If you have multiple computers available, try the DVD in a different computer/drive. If it works with a different drive, use a program like ImgBurn to back-up the original, then burn a new DVD from the backup image and try that in your DAW.
 
In fact, I'd try different drives before I started using abrasives on the DVD.
