rebeltx Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 To begin, I think ImgBurn is fantastic - really does the job. New at using it tho'. Can burn everything so far except Xbox ISOs that were made for backup so I can save originals from niece and nephew. Am using on 2.4GHz Intel w/1GB RAM. Sony DRU-510A burner and Windows W/SP1. Burn starts than I get a message of "CDB: Invalid Data in Field". After several retries by ImgBurn I then get an error about "Power Calibration Failure". After the burn bombs, ImgBurn seems to take forever to synchronize cache - usually have to use task manager to kill it. As of yet I have not had problems with any other ISOs. Know its not the media because ImgBurn handles it well as do other burning apps. Got any suggestions (I've already made a few DVD-R coasters). Any help will be very much appreciated as I am a completely frustrated and runnning out of blanks.... Thanks in advance for any and all help/suggestions......
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 The content of the image is irrelevant. Power Calibration Errors are always due to a bad hardware / firmware / media combination. I realise that goes against what you think (and so won't believe me!) but I can assure you it's true.

I realise that goes against what you think (and so won't believe me!) but I can assure you it's true. Yes - I did read the FAQs, Guides, etc and I also did several searches of the forums - all was able to find were posts on Power something or other being full. Yes, I will believe you because you is de expert but reckon I was hoping against it since I'm not real sure where to start. Sorry to be a bother. Wasn't this post correct to be in the Support forum?? Do appreciate your patience and help.....
lfcrule1972 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Could you possibly post a copy of the failed ImgBurn log ? That will tell us more about your set-up and also the media.....

lfcrule1972 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I don't want to worry you but the media ID on your discs - CMC MAG has a very very poor reputation. Personally speaking I wouldn't recommend that dye to anyone, I always use quality dye like Verbatim MCC or Taiyo Yuden dye for the best results. Did you buy these in a store ? If so most won't advertise which media ID is on the discs - far safer to buy from an online retailer who advertises the ID's. Not sure whether you have tried these people but www.meritline.com seem to be pretty good and they sell Taiyo Yuden discs as well.

Brand name on pack is KHypermedia - Got really good deal at Staples - reckon I should have been wary at 20 cents per disc - Will check out the link you sent and other media - Thanks once again for your awesome help - Think I might call it a night (morning) so I will not be a total zombie when go media shopping later on - Have a great one, Dude!!!!
lfcrule1972 Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 No worries - the name on the discs is of no importance compared to the media ID - any online retailer worth their salt will disclose that if requested.
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Brand name on pack is KHypermedia - Take our word for it. CMC disks are crap. They?ve been crap for years and will probably still be crap in the years to come. Anything with CMC, Longten or Princo (and many others) in the media ID should be avoided like the plague. Look for (genuine) Ritek G04, Ritek G05 or Taiyo Yuden for your Sony burner. What?s a media ID, I hear you ask? This bit is your media ID. I 04:17:55 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: CMC MAG. AE1) (Speeds: 1x, 2x, 4x)
volvofl10 Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 go HERE for more info on media scroll down to "Media ID Quality Guide" then carry on down the main page to "branding Guide" should be of some help to you
