Well no not really.
It's the same for CDR's, there are a lot of brands that do blank disks especially for music.
According to them the dye they use is better formulated to take music data better (i.e. to read large chunks at a slow speed rather than smaller chunks at random places at high speed).
The principle is the same for DVDR's for video.
If there is any difference is up to the individual to decide (personally, I cant tell the diffrence with music and data CDR's).
My advice is to try 1 or 2 and see if there is any improvement in playback and if there is then can you live with your video's on just "Normal" DVDR's?
