problems burning vcds now

[MR.WHiTe]

alright so i've been doing this stuff for a while now, but all of a sudden a few months back my burner stopped burning vcds. its a dinosaur of a thing, an HP CD-Writer+ 7100, but it gets the job done, or at least it did. now it almost never burns a vcd for me. it will burn regular data cds just fine but everytime i try to burn a vcd it gives me errors, the most prominent one being "power calibration area full." now i used to think this was due to my HDD being a bloody mess of fragmentation so i just stopped making vcds and kept burning data cds. now i want to make vcds again but can't. it can't be the HDD i removed a whole bunch of shit and defragged it. i even threw in an old gig drive i had laying around and tried burning from it. one night it burned a vcd for me, now it won't anymore. anyway my question is has anyone ever had this happen to them? what is so different about a vcd in nero than a regular data cd that i can burn just fine? the power calibration area is on the blank CD-R itself right? well i can use a rejected disc from a failed vcd burn and make a data cd from it with no problems. what gives?

i have had problems with nero also, i use CDRwin or Firburner for my VCDs since Nero always screws up when making VCDs (don't know why). Try usign VCDImager GUI to make the image file and burn with CDRWin or Fireburner. IT should work
