What firmware revision on the burner? Do you have the Pioneer set as master (like most burners it has an inferriority complex

). What software? We need more info.

Dunno, but I had the same problem a while ago. The drive was just dying (laser?). I had those errors on every other disc I did. Eventually it wouldnt even recognize DVD+R.

Got a new one, problems went away. At less than 40$ a pop, who cares.

*it was a DVR-110D, but same errors left and right.

I would try flashing it to the latest Dangerous Brother's firmware to see if that won't fix it. If not then I agree that your Pioneer is probably dying. How does it work for single layer media?

it burns single layers fine, i'll probably just send it off to get rma'd just in case..

i'm having the exact same problem with my 111d. SL works fine but on every DL I get the power calibration error. going to take back the drive tomorrow.

I've had this experience for a few years using pioneer burners. First thing update firmware on drive, 2nd uninstall drive completly and reinstall, 3rd make sure your dont have too many resources open in the back- ground, 4th when this happens shut down pc and reboot 5th make sure you use good media verbatims. Sometimes you need to uninstall other rom drives, devices and programs. They run flawlessly for weeks then bang it happens, you cop a couple of bad power calibration errors in a row.

cheers
