Here are a few suggestions,it is sometimes fixed as easily as changing media.

<9>I have a Power calibration error?
Options you can try with "power calibration errors"
o Try another brand of DVD-/+R or DVD-/+RW media. This is the most common cause of OPC errors.
o "Slow down your burning speed".
o Update the firmware of your recorder. Check the manufacturer's website for the latest version.
o Check your power connectors, loose connections do occur. Don't share power with other devices. It needs its own power connector. If the errors occurs with an external recorder, Check the USB cable and connections.
o Try different configurations, such as taking the DVD-ROM to the primary IDE bus as slave and have only the recorder connected to the secondary IDE bus as master.
o Clean or have your DVD burner serviced. There are cleaning kits available. Sometimes just a gentle appplication of canned air can remove dust blocking the laser.
o Replace the DVD burner.
lets hope we don't need to do the last one

Well thats good to hear you got your problems sorted out.

I had the same problem with some Ritek Ridata branded.
Right in the middle of the spindle, they started to get the PCE. I slowed my burn speed down to 2x, and was able to finish burning the rest of the spindle.
Even the relatively good stuff, can be bad at times.
