The various discs are manufactured by many and far apart.
The only issues are of compatibility, the hardware manufacturers
release firmware updates to increase a burners compatibility
with the ever expanding range of blank media.
The only time an incompatibility cannot be altered is if you have
a burner that is either "DVD+R" or "DVD-R", but all burners will
burn both these days. If a burner is one type only it cannot be changed.
If you're having a problem with a specific brand of discs then
visit the support link of the burners OEM, download the latest
firmware update for your burner.
