hi! i just bought the tdk dvdrw880n and test burn an avi file into dvd movie using the included nero oem on a sony dvd-rw. movie burned fine and playable on my dvd player. next i want to erase the disc to test other things. erasing failed, nero return power calibration error??!! now, nothing is changed, i am using the same disc on the same pc using the same dvd writer. what happened actually? why does it burned fine but cant erase the same disc that it burned?

If you're using Nero, just slap it back in the drive when you're ready to burn another movie over it and it will work just fine.

hi! although i have a feeling your idea wont work, i tried it out. i tried burning another avi into the same disc, and as expected, nero says that the disc is not empty, do you want to erase? i answered yes and it goes erasing the disc. now, as expected, it ejected the disc and asked for a blank disc. sigh! not about to give up yet, i re-insert the same disc and proceed and again it ask whether i want to erase and i answered yes. and voila!!?? it erased fine and burned fine and playable on my dvd player??!! then i tried to erase again and this time nero did not complain thx man

ps. i love this forum, i got my problem solved fast, tdk support requires me to bring my writer in for checking, that is something i dont have time for
