Re: Problem with Matshita UJ-845D on Acer Aspire 1690

Hi, me again.

I've downloaded and installed Deepburner Pro and still have the same problem. Deepburner reports the following error:

WRITER ERROR [MEDIUM ERROR (POWER CALIBRATION AREA ERROR)]

This is the same problem that CDBurnerXP reports.

Feedback from some acquaintances that have similar machines (Acer) with the same DVD rewriter (Matshita) indicate that their drives also have problems burning discs.

Any further ideas?? It really doesn't look too good from where I sit... I seem to have no problem burning CD-RW discs, but this is at quite low speed (4X) compared to the drive's rated speed for CD-R's (24X) Also, Deepburner does not appear to allow me to set the speed at which the drive operates. It detects that drive as being capable of 24X speed and the media to be the same or better and runs the drive at 24X.

With the CD-RW's this is 4X and seems to work (it does not appear to be a buffer under-run problem). I guess it has to do with how CD-R and CD-RW's work.

Thanks,

Jac
