Yeah it's possible. That's why some have suggested Verbatim.
Not all Verbatims are created equal, apparently. IIRC you should look for the ones made in Singapore, not India. adywan said something to that effect recently.
And even the "good" ones can have a bad batch slip through QC now and then.
FWIW the better part of four years ago, when we were anxiously awaiting Citizen's ESB release, I bought a 15-pack of Memorex DL+R (acutally 14-pack since it was an open-box return.)
Only within the past month have I started using them. So far they've all burned okay.
One gave an error trying to eject the disc after the burn finished, but it had already finalized and is readable in another DVD-ROM drive.
Despite my successes, I've always heard the discs sold by Memorex (they're not manufactured by Memorex) were of dubious quality....
