Power Calibration Area Error!!!!!!!!!!!

bmurray1010 · July 15, 2009

I am having terriible trouble burning with Imgburn my burns keep stopping at 50% everytime. Now I have had so much trouble with ImgBurn, I have been using the older dvd decrypter program with success until now. Even dvd decrypter is coming up with the same error. Until today I have had over 20 perfect burns. I know I have the best media and a clean lens, I also remember to set the book type. Please help I have wasted 5 discs in my new pack. Below is a copy of my log, the only thing I can think of is my older burner could be the problem. I have also tried burning at 4x speed, but no success. Please help.

I 18:43:29 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

If it can't burn the best DL media and the lens are clean then it's time for a new burner, don't you think? :huh:

Are your verbs from Singapore?

Maybe this latest batch aren't and your burner just doesn't like them.

Yes, my verbatim dl's are from singapore this time. Any suggestions?

If the firmware is up-to-date and you've cleaned the drive, I guess it's time to take mmalves advice and buy yourself a new drive.
