It is shown that a Moyal deformation quantization of the SO(4k) Generalized Yang-Mills (GYM) theory action in D=4k dimensions, for spacetime independent field configurations, in the ℏ → 0 limit, yields the Dirac-Nambu-Goto p-brane actions (obtained from the conformally invariant Dolan-Tchrakian p-brane actions after elimination of the auxiliary world volume metrics), in the orthonormal gauge, for p+1=4k world volumes embedded in a D=4k target spacetime background. The gauge fields/target spacetime coordinates correspondence is required but no large N limit is necessary. The equivalence between Moyal SDYM and Self Dual p-branes is proposed without choosing the orthonormal gauge.
