Wookie Groomer Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hello, I have been using IMGBurn for a while now and love it. It has never failed me. Recently I have started using Dual Layer Bluray media namely Verbatims. I'll start from the beginning... I recently purchased an LG GGW-H20L drive and a handful of BD25 media. I have had absolutely no issues burning DVD DL or Bluray BD25 disks, it was perfect. I bought a handful of Verbatim DL BD50's for a special "project" I needed to archive and managed to burn one good disk and the remaining 3 Verbatims went in the garbage because I constantly got the power calibration error. I tried a combination of Nero and IMGBurn after the first one failed. So I thought it was the media and bought Sony branded media and those failed as well with the same errors so 5 DL BD50's in the garbage. So I thought it was my drive and bought a Pioneer BDR-203 and a handful of Bluray DL Sony's. The fist one I tried burned and plays back fine. All consecutive attempts to burn have failed just like the other drive. I defragmented my drive, I increased the buffer to 512MB and cleaned of as much data as I could to free up space. I even shut down every possible program to leave IMGBurn to do it's business with any other apps running. Nothing I do will allow be to simply burn a dual layer disk. Reading through the site a little I see the cure all for every problem is to simply buy Verbatim but I have thrown out a sizable amount of them as well as Sony. I have attached a screen cap of the message IMBBurn displays. Is there anything at all that could cause a freaky problem like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Power calibration errors are usually due to an incompatibility/lack of support between the burner and the media used. We've seen similar problems with people trying to burn BD-RE DL discs too. From our tests we've found Verbatim BluRay media to be the best, sometimes it was the only one that worked, but we don't burn a lot of BluRay discs. From what you've said I think you should complain to LG, Pioneer, Verbatim, Sony and whoever else you bought stuff from because they're doing a crappy job with their products. As for media advice, try posting at CDFreaks, AVSForum or similar boards and you might get more replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
