This is why we always recommend the best media even if the price varies slightly higher than the local crap of the mill k-mart/wal-mart brands.
Fugi, Memorex, Maxell, and other Generic no-names may or may not work for most backups/applications. Some users will even say these brands work well for them, but the consiquences are at your own risk. If the hardware/drive lasers gets damaged or wear out quicker, usually it is due to bad media.
If you truely want the top quality media, stick to the recommended brands like verbatim (cd-r) and Ritek (dvd-r).
This could be why I have never had any problems in regard to the "Booooooooooom!!!!!!" topic.
