What files should be on an Ubuntu installation DVD?
I have two DVDs. I cannot install from either. One is xxx.iso the other contains files: .disk, boot, casper … etc
What should I see if I display the files that are on a proper DVD?

Sounds like you didn't burn the downloaded *.iso file properly to create a bootable DVD. How did you create the DVDs? It won't work if you simply drag the *.iso file to an empty DVD nor if you drag the files contained in the *.iso file to an empty DVD.

The one with the .iso file on it is improperly made. The one with "boot", "casper", etc sounds correct, so what happens when you try to boot from it? What instructions did you follow? Please edit to clarify.
