jonnyboy180 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 i'm trying to burn a 360 game to a disc on a pioneer dvr-x152 with a verbatim dvd+r dl dvd, but at the very end i keep getting a "power calibration area error." please help me fix this! power_calibration_area_error.txt
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Try burning at a different speed - i.e 2.4x or 4x. The firmware looks up-to-date but you've got one of those dodgy drives that don't really exist. If the verbs are genuine, from Singapore and still won't burn at 2.4x or 4x then you might have to consider ditching the drive and getting another one.
jonnyboy180 Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 well the drive is brand new so it must be the speed. thanks a lot
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 If it's brand new, take it back and get a real Pioneer one!
grArrow Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Hi friends, I have the same error message like jonnyboy180. ImgBurn says: Optimum Power Calibration Failed! - Reason: Power Calibration Area Error Maybe the error come from a update? ImgBur burns earlier mp3 CD's, avi DVD's, Photo CD/DVD correct - no problems. yesterday after four weeks I would burn a iso file to DVD. My DVD-RW is minimum 8 month old. it is a Optiarc DVD RW AD-7191S with Lightscribe (maybe SonyNEC). my system: Vista32 home prem, 3 GB RAM, AMD Athlon Dual Core 5000+ (2x2.6 GHz), 500 GB HDD, ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0, DVD-Rom from Tshiba and DVD-RW from Optiarc best regards
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 The forced OPC function is disabled by default in 2.4.2.0 (yours is still enabled because you upgraded) so that would get rid of that exact error... trouble is, the drive may still do some sort of OPC itself when the burn starts and it may still return the 'Power Calibration Area Error' error code as a result. You can't avoid that because it's totally down to the drive / firmware / media combo.
