Power Calibration Area Error

[VWOODS6364]

I am using Verbatim DVD+R 16x. I don't have any problems when I use Verbatim DVD-R 16x discs, but when I try to use the +R discs, I have nothing but failed attempts to burn from imgburn. I really don't understand this. If someone could help me, I would really appreciate it. I have two full 50 disc packages of the +R and would really like to be able to use them. I followed the tutorial for using Imgburn with DVDfab and have set everything as shown.

I can't seem to find the DVDFab log section so I am listing first the actual error that comes up and then I am listing the Imgburn log.

I/O Error!

First update to Imgburn V2510.....

http://www.imgburn.com/

The use the setting in Imgburn to un-check the box for power calibration.
There are times on some systems that this feature will cause problems.

I turned it off years ago.

[VWOODS6364]

Can't seem to find a box for power callibration in settings????

[Guest]

It is listed as OPC under the write section --see attachment.

[VWOODS6364]

It's not checked

[Guest]

I just noticed you are using 4x write speed and this does not exist in your choices.......Change it to 8x or 12x

[Guest]

Look in your Documents and Setting folder for a DVDFAB folder.
The logs will be there. Copy and paste all three logs .

Hopefully there is something in the logs that will help because I am out of ideas.

I see you have not updated your imgburn software I posted a link for you to update in Post #2.

I updated it and am now getting the same errors

[Guest]

The logs??

[VWOODS6364]

The above log is the log I found in Dvdfab

[Guest]

There also should be a DVDFAB process and internal log there.
