    when i first started burning dvd-r i used to get a power calibration error on a regular basis however i upgraded my power supply and that seemed to fix that problem until now i have regularly upgraded my burner and currently installed is a pioneer 109 which has been a very reliable burner the thing is i am now starting to get power calibration errors again i just wondered if it is time to replace my burner or if anyone else has any suggestions. thanks in advance for any help

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

    i have been using ritek 04 regularly and went to buy some more at the same time i bought a new pioneer 109 before i installed it i tried a new disc from 1 of the spindles i bought and it worked fine so again i tried a disc from the old spindle and again the same problem so i checked the identity and i think my problem was i had a spindle of fakes i took them back to the shop with my unopened pioneer 109 and got my money back. i have burned several discs since no problems at all thanks for your suggestions

    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.
