yes but with TDK for instance, they use differing quality of manufacturers - TDK are only any good if you buy the right ones and people are always caught out with the bad ones, this is one reason why i don't use/recommend TDK
Always worth spending a bit more for reliable media I've found throughout the years I have been burning. A good Ritek G05 DVD-R or best of all Taiyo Yuden DVD-R , if there's a problem burning to a TY disc then there really is a hardcore problem (definitely not media related then I'd say).
