Any chance you installed another burning program just before this showed up? I would be inclined to uninstall Nero using the Nero Cleaning Tool (writing down my serial numbers first) then reinstall. http://www.nero.com/enu/support-nero7-tools-utilities.html
no i have not installed any other burning programs, here is the log after i reinstalled after using the clean tool. Thanks in advance. I really can't make any "sense" out of it.

The power calibration error is often caused by poor media - however burning at 18x is much too high and may be the cause of the failure. Set the burn speed back to 8x or even 4x. I believe Nero lets you do a simulation burn (use a blank DVD - but no writing takes place)
