Last night I burned a CD by lowering the speed. I was at 20x normally, and my burner is a 24x, but I lowered it to 10x. Once I started K3b said it was adjusting itself to 8x. I thought, this is going to take all night, but it recorded like it was at 24x. Strange. Anyway, I burned another at 8x today and it worked....still burning as fast as 24x. What ever, at least it works. Tom On Fri, 2003-06-06 at 20:44, Michael Sacco wrote:

Last night I tested a cd out by writting one wav file to it. No problem. Tonight I tried, 4 times, burning about 14 songs, way below my max in minutes or megs. Each time using a new CD. I kept getting the same response:
Turning BURN-Proof on Executing power calibration... ?: Input/output error. : scsi sendcmd: cmd timeout after 180.375 (180) s CDB: 54 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 cmd finished after 180.375s timeout 180s ERROR: Power calibration failed. ERROR: Use option --force to ignore this error. ERROR: Writing failed.
Does anyone know what this means? <snip>
I'm no expert...but I'm curious as to what brand of CD's you're using. I think I remember seeing this error on my cd burner, and it was just because I was using really cheap CDR's. Buying a different brand solved this (cd burners are picky that way sometimes) Is this a brand you've used before?
