Are your Verbatim blanks made in Singapore or India? The ones made in India have lower success rate due to lower quality dye. Try burning one at 4x to see if it works, or you'll need a new burner.

They are made in Singapore.

 

Is it possible that the DVD+R DL itself was defective because I tried to burn it again using a second DVD+R DL and it was successful.

 

Or is my burner on it's way out, and I will continue to receive random performance?

 

Here is the log for the successful burn:

Good afternoon. I just downloaded ImgBurn yesterday and made a copy of one of my XBOX games without a problem. Today I tried to make another copy using all the same settings and I keep getting a Power Calibration Error. The discs I am using are not Verbatim b/c I didn't read much about copying my games prior to buying my discs. They are Nexxtech DVD+R DL. I figured since it worked last night it wouldn't matter but I have tried with 2 different discs and I keep getting the same error. Here are the logs. Thanks.

A firmware update could help but I didn't find any for your burner. A new burner also isn't a sure shot to burn crap media, so what's the easiest solution? Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (MKM-001-00 dye) Made in Singapore blanks.

 

As for 'works perfectly', try a quality scan on that disc using DVDInfoPro or DiscSpeed and you might change your mind about that :whistling:
