BrokenHearted Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I'm trying to burn to a DVD+R DL, but I always get an error. I'm going to try attaching images of the errors. I'm using my laptop with the plug plugged in. I've taken the battery out. I say this because I see a power error, so I say that that might be the issue (sort of like how to update your PSP, you have to plug your PSP in). What's wrong?

kevdriver Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 If you could post a log from the failed burn-verify it would be helpful. This drive appears to be a rebaged Panasonic. After searching around its apparent its not a very good drive at all. There is no firmware updates available for it and it appears to not even be supported by it vendor. A lot of people besides yourself are having problems with this drive. Its too early to say for sure yet, but maybe its time for a new drive. Perhaps one of the others wtll be able to find out more about your problem then I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Power Calibration Errors are caused by firmware that doesn't fully support the media you're using. Look for a firmware update or use different discs that the drive does support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenHearted Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 I have a Matshita UJ-840D. I've been looking around, and apparently, this model has a lot of problems. I found a website telling me to deactivate IMAPI CD BURNING COM SERVICE, which I did. But that did not change anything. I looked for a firmware update for my drive, but there is none. The closest one is UJ-840S, and I've read that it should still work, but I'm totally clueless about such things, and do not really want to do anything that might mess up my drive. I am using the best DVD+R DL (at least according to a bunch of people), Verbatim. I think it should be compatible. You guys have any other ideas?

Movie Junkie Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 As kevdriver said, it might be time for a new drive. At least that's the way i would go. Do a search on the forum and I'm sure you will find a number of drives that we have said are good ones. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
