Can anyone help me? It says the cd-burner is dirty, but this is an entirely new computer, so this should not be the case. I keep getting the message "Write error at 0 (16) - Code 03 73 03 [Medium error, Power calibration fail (CD-burner is dirty)]"

Hi there, Is it possible to provide us with a Full CopyToDVD log ! Are you burning CD-R or DVD media ? What brand of media are you using ? What speed are you burning them at ? The media id can be found in the logs, and/or by using VSO Inspector v1.1 It's most likely you are using cheap media and/or burning too fast. (DVD Burning). All those can be answered by looking at the logs !

Hi kate424 and welcome to our forums. As Tabby as already stated, the log file would be great. You can attatch the file in the options under the reply box Smile

Copytodvd log should be located in C:\program files\vso\

Hi there,

Cheap Media quality are unpredictable !

Also burned too fast on them will make coasters all the time.

I never burn above 2x on cheap media quality, and even then they are full of errors sometimes.

They will burn 1 day, play fine for 2-3 months.

6 months later, you but them in your DVD player and they are unreadable !

Quality Media are Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, Maxell made in Japan
