OPC failed and failed to reserve track

[Dannyj]

I've always burned my DVD's with success using an ASUS DRW-1604P.

Suddenly I'm getting two errors "optimum power calibration failed" and "failed to reserve track"

 

I'm using high quality Philips DVD-RW 1-2X

But since I've got these errors with the philips DVDs, not even the DVDs I have always

used with success are working anymore.

 

I tried to manually perform the "power calibration" but it always failed.

I'm still burning CD's and reading DVDs with success.

 

There's no newer firmware for my drive.

 

Maybe it's a speed problem?

By the way, why newer DVD's are lower speed than my old 16x DVD's?

Don't DVDs and burners progress by allowing higher and higher speeds?

Post the full log please.

 

Go into the settings and turn off the 'perform opc' option.

 

Put the 'Write Type' back on DAO/SAO.
