I have been using DVD Decryter and Nero for some time now and never had this prob before. I was burning a movie iso file with my trusty pioneer 107D first using 16x verbs (-R) and second attempt with 4x Ritek G05. I left DVDD burning speed set to MAX and the 107 has been using hacked firmware for over a year now. The prob is at about 25% of the way through burning the burn rate dropped to zero and the process hung at that giving me a "Power calibration area error" log. I noticed with the ritek 4x media it was trying to burn at 6x and that's naughty but the same error occured on the verbs when the write speed reached about 7X. I subsequently tried Nero and set the burn speed to 4x using the Riteks and the it burnt fine.(have'nt tried the verbs again yet)
I have included the failure log from DVDD and have a couple of theories for the problem:-
1) This is a brand new machine partly built by myself and I robbed the secondary IDE channel (DVD ROM) cable from my 8 year old machine althogh the primary one is new. Could it be the old ATA33 ribbon cable needing to be ATA100 compatible or does that just apply to HDD's.
2)The pioneer firmware does'nt support the verbs and trying to burn the riteks at 6X created the same error type.
Here is the DVDD log file from the RITEK MAX speed burn.
P.S The IDE channel is set to DMA if available
Thanks in advance for advice.

DVD's and DVD-RW disks themselves have information written on them, within this Media ID code there is information that the drive uses to calibrate itself to the disk. When a drive first starts to write to a disk it will burn a small amount of data to a calibration area on the disc. Using the calibration information in the Media ID code it tries to read back the data that it has written. If it cannot be read, then disk will be ejected and fail with a power calibration error.
Pioneer DVD burner like Verbatim but you might need to get a firmware update so that it recog. that blank media that is in the burner. Your burner's firmware is at 1.21 and the updtae is up to 1.22 so update the firmware at the site below:

I would also slow the burn down to 4X

Thanks Car.mike,
I tried updating to that firmware last night but I think because my current firmware is a RPC (hacked) one it would would not overwrite it. I got a "not a valid FW firmware" message or something like that, although I was sure that the RPC firware I used, and it was last year, did'nt change the pioneer kernnel, so I thought I could still use an official pioneer update.
I've never had this problem with the burner when it was in my old machine, but then again, that was a P3 at 600mhz so the burner was always waiting for the system anyway, with the buffers slamming up and down. Now I've got nice steady buffers but I try slowing the burns down on the verbs aswell. thanks

hello byngo,
your pioneer is a fairly old burner and might want a good clean out
take it apart,and give the laser head a clean,that might solve it for you
hope this helps
cheers!!

Ok now.
After reading the forums and other links from these and some googling I have done the following,
Replaced the secondary IDE cable with a new one,
Dedicated one power connector from the PSU to my DVD burner and shared the others out via splitters.
And lastly, and I think most significantly, I cleaned my laser.
One of the above did the trick, but so many other people have said cleaning worked, i think that was it.
Hope this helps others.
