[Optimum Power Calibration Failed, Reason: Write Protected]

Does it only error out like that on DVD+RW? What about normal DVD-R or DVD+R ?

 

If it happens on all discs, just turn off the 'Send OPC' option in the settings (Write tab).

 

Today I tried with Verbatim branded Printable 16x DVD-R [MCC 03RG20] and no OPC errors at all!

Trevligt att se någon från Sverige här!

 

Those RW discs are they old/scrached? I can get that issue sometimes with some of my scratched RWs.

 

Jepp, Sverige här!

 

Yes, I would consider those RW discs a bit old/scratched but I managed to burn an .img file with the same disc on my laptop with Vista Business and a MATSHITA UJ-852S DVD-RAM Recorder in ImgBurn v2.4.0.0 without any OPC errors! Any clues?

I haven't tried it with normal DVD-R or DVD+R yet, I will try this asap and get back to you with the result.

Thanx Cynthia!

 

I would also like to mention I'm running Firmware V1.12 on my Plextor PX-708A DVD-Recorder and the DVD+RW media I'm using is TDK branded 4x DVD+RW [RICOHJPN-W11-01].

 

Here is two logs with the error:
