Using Pioneer DVR - 105 ( firmware 1.30 ), Windows '98, DMA enabled and Nero 5.5.10.28.
My problem is, the Pioneer reads the disc, completes the ' copy over image ' stage but when I insert an empty media to write to, it comes up "burn process failed" and "power calibration error"
Anyone got any ideas please ??:confused:

"power calibration error" usually means that the laser cannot calibrate to the media being used.

In short, it doesn't like the disks. Try a good Ritek disk and you wont go far wrong.

Thanks for the advice but this has only started happening over the last few days. I have been using Datawrite yellows at x1 and superior at x2 for a while now with no problems.
Do you think the laser is buggered ?

It's possible, but it's equally possible you've picked up a bad batch of disks or some in your batch are dodgy.

Before looking at other reasons, I would try a good Ritek, as 90% of problems are normally down to media. Also, it's an easy one to eliminate.

O.K. m8, I'll give that a try first.
Thanks.

i agree used yellows for a while then went badly wrong
use riteks not much dearer but much mroe consisitent
