I've used dvd shrink with dvd decrypter for a while, recently I had my burner shipped from home and loaded the two programs onto my girlfriends computer, now when ever I try and use decrypter I get this message: I/O Error! Device: [0:0:0] SONY DVD RW DRU-510A 1.DF(G (USB) ScsiStatus: 0x02 Interpretation: Check Condition CDB: 2A 00 00 00 08 C0 00 00 20 00 Interpretation: Write (10)-Sectors: 2240-2271 Sense Area: F1 00 03 FF FD 00 00 12 00 00 00 00 73 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 9B 02 12 50 Interpretation: Power Calibration Area Error can anyone help me figure this out?
Sometimes a Power Calibration Error can be an issue with the drive. More commonly it's associated with the blank media being used. What type of media are you using? Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, and Sony are good. Is the firmware for the burner up-to-date? On a side note, since neither of those programs are updated anymore, why not upgrade to DvdFab Hd Decrypter to rip, use Shrink as normal, and burn with Dvd Decrypter's update (the burning portion anyway) Imgburn. Check my sig for links to all the good stuff.
I'm using Memorex DVD-R's which have worked fine for me in the past, and I dont think I'll be upgrading to anything HD just yet, how do I check for these updates?
Typically, these are low quality discs that may burn and play, but all in all produce sketchy results. Try the media i mentioned earlier. The program rips standard def Dvd's. That's just the difference in title from their payware programs, DvdFab Gold/Platinum. It's updated often, it's freeware, and i can handle any title out there right now. Dvd Decrypter and Dvd Shrink cannot. I can only assume this is referencing the firmware i mentioned earlier. Since you probably have not downloaded Imgburn; open Dvd Decrypter. Tools > Drive > Check for firmware update. (make sure you're online.
sweet, I'm trying both of these now, thanks. the link for the firmware update just times out, do you know any other spots I can find it?
Maybe try here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/FIRMWARE/ Seems like http://forum.rpc1.org is down at the moment.
ok, now I get a different, but similar error message in ImgBurn. it says: Optimum Power Calibration Failed! Reason: Power Calibration Area Error
yes, I figured out that it was the Memorex DVD-Rs, and a dirty lens. I tried using a different dvd r and its working fine.
Ta-Dah! If you want quality burns, quality blank media is not a suggestion, it's a rule. Happy burning!
