I saw some online vendors selling DVD-Rs which have no brand/manufacturer on the label; but is just advertised as:
Grade A 8X DVD-R 4.7GB White Inkjet Hub Printable
In fact here is one example:

Are these discs reliable?

No.
It's probably fakes or crap. Not worth the money. The price is not very good anyway.

I buy Taiyo Yuden at RIMA.COM
The 100 pack of Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R discs = $25.99 + shipping
Not only is this fairly inexpensive but it is simply the BEST blank media money can buy. Period.

If you want to deal with a rebate, Verbatim rebates are the fastest I've ever done about a month usually, you can get 100 Verbatim DVD-Rs for $19 at Buy.com. They aren't printables.

Why save FEW PENNIES per crappy blank disc, when you could be using simply the best ones?
Its not like you are going to burn 1000 of them, and if you did - that would save you maybe just enough for maybe an extra spindle (at best) of a crappy blanks... which you would probably waste on replacing "bad burn" discs anyways... -
Correct: "It's just marketing bullshit."
