That used to be the case but in my experience not nowadys. I have used 
recently, sony 24x, cyberdrive 32x, lite-on and LG 40x and 48x, all burn with 
exactlink or some other burnproof firmware, that does not allow coasters. I 
am also now uing a Pioneer DVD burner and none of these have "not been read" 
in other machines; with the exception of very old cd readers, with out of 
line lasers or lasers of the wrong color or strength..
