Hi all! I'm hoping someone here can point me in the direction of a solution to my Nero 7 problem. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Here's my problem:
1) Been using Nero 6 to burn DVD+R ISO images without any problems.
2) Re-formatted HD and installed Nero 7 (No, previous Nero versions prior to Nero 7 install)
3) Can not burn a DVD+R ISO image with Nero 7. Spits out "Power Calibration error".
4) Using Taiyo Yuden DVD+R media from supermediastore.com (went through 200 DVDs w/o any coasters).
5) Nero 7 doesn't turn it into a coaster b/c I can burn the image to the same DVD using DVD Decrypter w/o any problems.
Doese anyone know what's causing the error or is experiencing the same problem?
Hummmmmm.... mine is working fine. I don't know what's wrong with yours, but "power calibration" could be a media issue. Perhaps, Creaky might have some info on that.
In the mean time, can you copy and paste the very last section of your Nero log here, so that'll be much better trying to assist you alright. To get your Nero log, go here: C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\NeroHistory - and remember to edit out your Nero serial that starts with something like 5C80 or 5C82XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

Quote:9. I get a 'Power calibration error' or 'Calibration area (almost) full' error message. Why?
Power Calibration is controlled by the recorder.
Before any write operation, all recorders must do a 15 step power test to determine the optimum power for writing to the CD; this is called "Optimum Power Calibration"(OPC). During the write, it continues to do this test to get the best write throughout the whole CD; this is called "Running Optimum Power Calibration" (ROPC).
This whole process is controlled by the recorder, though initiated by programs such as Nero. There is an area on the inner part of the CD for the test and test data info to be stored. You can use this area up to 999 times.
If you receive the "Power calibration error" or "Power calibration area is (amost) full" error message, the cause will be either poor media, poor power, or a defective recorder.
Please try the following solutions:
Update the firmware of your recorder. Please check the manufacturer's website for the latest version.
Try another brand of CD-R or CD-RW media.
Try different power connectors, and for recorders, do not share power with other devices. It needs its own power connector. If the error occurs with an external recorder, the power source in the chassis could be the cause. As a test, try to take the recorder out of the external chassis and connect it internal.
Try different configurations, such as taking the CD-ROM to the primary IDE bus as slave and have only the recorder connected to the secondary IDE bus as master.
Send the recorder in for service
Thank you for the feedback. I will post the log when I get home from work. It's just strange that it started happening when I installed Nero 7 and I can make a perfect burn if I use DVD Decrypter. I would attempt to burn with Nero 7 and it would spit an error out. Immediately following I can close Nero 7 and open DVD Decrypter and make a perfect burn. I read another post about a bad batch of Taiyo media floating around. If the recorder or media is bad then I shouldn't be able to burn with Decrpyter and Nero, right? It seems a lot of people are having problems with Nero 7. I've been checking and have yet to see any updates posted on their site.
the good thing about Nero logs is they very accurately summarise a system's burning ability. usually it just takes a few tweaks to get ppl sorted, excepting downrev firmware/crap media/faulty media or hardware problems.
as to Nero 7, like any new product there are bugs, but even so there's usually a few tweaks to sort out and Nero 7 may well work fine for you...
