I don't think it's a common problem.  I can't remember the last time a
CD-R or RW or DVD-anything didn't work after I burned it.  I tend to buy
the cheap stuff, too.

It might be more of a burner problem.  You might want to try slowing the
burner down to a slower burn speed.  Also check if there are firmware
updates for your CD burner.
