I used to know a guy who worked at a CDR factory. He said the really cheap ones are 'warped' or don't cool flat. Basically the disc is a 'taco shell' or 'potato chip' on a micro level. The laser basically has to re-focus like 50 times per disc revolution and it will end up burning out your laser assembly motors permaturely with all the extra work. Think of it as trying to burn an ant with a magnifing glass only the ant keeps bobbing up and down.
