First, let me say, don't recommend other burning programs. Xcd-roast, cdtoast and another one cause my entire machine to lock up...resulting in me pushing the 'bailout' button. (that will be saved for another email...) 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? K3b worked on my 8.0 version perfectly. Not sure what's happened. Anyway, if anyone can provide some insight, I would appreciate it. My wife wants to make a CD for her friend that's moving away and she's going to kill me if I can't do it.

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?

<snip> Until this distro I could not burn a cd using any gui...I had to burn track by track usin the nofix parameter and the fixating the cd at the finish... Have you tried this ? With this latest SuSE I can burn ok with K3b but still cannot use xcdroast

You're right about cheap CD's. Imation makes cheapo CD's, and out of a 10 pack I got a while back of CD0R's, 3 were bad, and a 10 pack of CD-RW's 3 were bad also. So as you say, when it comes to blank CD's or CD-RW's, one is much better off spending the extra few dollars for the better brand(s).

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:
