It turned out that only one out of ten discs would write without errors. Recieving verbatim discs tommorow.

What the F... On 3th or 4th MBIPG-disc I try, I enabled OPC. And suddenly it would write.

I went back to the store and returned the TDK Ritek discs, and got a new spindle with tdk discs with disc id: MBIPG101-R10-65. I really thought I had found the problem, but the MBIPG-discs allso produce a Power calibration area error.

Disc ID on the TDK discs that worked says: MBIPG101-R10-65 On the TDK ones that didn't work it says: RITEK-S04-66 Traxdata disc id allso says: RITEK-S04-66 What does this mean?

This is TDK that won't work: MATSHITA BD-CMB UJ-120 1.00 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R DL Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 4 173 824 Free Space: 8 547 991 552 bytes Free Time: 927:32:74 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2,4x DVD±R DL Boundary Information: L0 Data Zone Capacity: 2 086 912 Changeable: Yes Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66 Book Type: DVD+R DL Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196 608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 16 580 607 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 2 283 519 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66 Book Type: DVD+R DL Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196 608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 16 580 607 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 2 283 519 Performance (Write Speed): Descriptor 1... -> B0: 0x01; B1: 0x00; B2: 0x00; B3: 0x00 -> EL: 4173823 (0x003FAFFF) -> RS: 3 324 KB/s (2,4x) - WS: 3 324 KB/s (2,4x)

Depends on how your drives' firmware handles the MID info of the Verbs you ordered. This is what it says on one of the discs I used with success: MATSHITA BD-CMB UJ-120 1.00 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R DL Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Sectors: 3 827 488 Size: 7 838 695 424 bytes Time: 850:35:13 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2,4x DVD±R DL Boundary Information: L0 Data Zone Capacity: 1 913 760 Changeable: No TOC Information: Session 1...

Those blanks are rated for 8x burning and your burner only offers 2.4x, which means it's probably using a generic write strategy, i.e. it doesn't really support those blanks. The blanks you've used before may have a different dye that your burner supports (you can check their Disc ID with ImgBurn in Write mode). Hey, thanks for the answer, the discs I've used before was allso 8x. I have ordered verbatim 8x discs, then those probably wont work either?

BTW. The computer is a Acer Aspire 5920G, the drive is a Matshita BD UJ-120. Ive found no firmware-updates for this drive. Its allmost brand new. I will be trying out Verbatim discs allso, but can't understand why in the one moment I can write 20 DL discs with no problems, and in the next which is now I can't.

I've probably burned somewhere arround 30 discs, allways TDK DVD+R DL. Today i bought a new pack with the same kind of discs as mentioned. And I recieve a power calibration area error. I've tryed with different writespeeds, cleaning the lens, uninstaling SPTD, uninstalling all virtual drives etc. I even bought a second pack of discs Traxdata DVD+R DL. But, the same error occurs every time, writing isn't even initiated. The log follows: I 21:29:51 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!
