power calibration error

[snake2]

i have a pioneer dvr 108 and tried to burn some verbatim dvd+r dl ( i know ive burnt that brand before) but this time i got a power calibration error when burning the second layer and i get the same problem when burning ritek dvd-rw's

tomorrow i was gonna try getting a lens cleaner and see if that helps if that doesnt fix the problem then should i get a new drive? ive had my drive for a while now and made about 1000 discs plus the dvds i rip

i tried using nero 7.0.12 and dvd decrypter 3.5.4.0

dvd-r, cd-r and cd-rw all work fine

i also noticed that i cant burn my 16x media at 16x

first, try different media.

If the problem stays, contact Pioneer or your retailer (where you bought the drive) for help.

Yep usually media is the main problem for that error..


Or your lens needs a bit of a clean.

well ran a lens cleaner through a couple times, DVD-RW is giving me internal target failure then if i try again session fixation error im thinking thats because of how old the discs are i forget when i got them.

im trying to make a hotswap disc to rip my xbox 360 games so im gonna re-create my dummy data and try the DVD+R DL again I'll post back with the results

well after cleaning the lens it still wouldnt burn the DLs so i got a Nec drive and it burnt the same discs (from the same pack) at 8x no problem guess my pioneer is on the way out
