It seems the 'manufacturers name' on the disk may not be genuine, from what I have seen.
Often it isn't. A good, free tool for finding out who really made a given CD or DVD is |MG| Nero DiscSpeed 4.11.2.0 Download
Just open the 'Disc Info' tab.

After reading comments at the Club CDFreaks forum and burning piles of optical discs myself, I would recommend discs by Mitsubishi Chemicals, Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim and Sony's Indian subcontractor (Daxon).

Online retailer SVP Online - SVP is clued-in re. the importance of manufacturer ID and state it in their item listings.

This is only a guide, from a non-expert! Results with your drive(s) may vary. Mine are Lite-On (desktops) and LG (laptop).
