Failng DVD disks

I purchased a 'snap' deal of '2-for-price of 1' Samsung DVD-R8X disks from Office World a few months ago following a tipoff on this forum.

A few of them have worked fine, playing back several times without problem, and then suddenly the drives on my desktop (LG4160) and DVDRec (JVC) will not recognise them as disks, and the heads just hunt endlessly. Some have been recorded via DVDR dub and some via PC. The odd ones are still working normally (at the moment).

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it likely I got a bunch of duff disks in the 'bargain' or are DVD disks known to be unreliable?
