I use DVD Shrink and Nero 6 OEM Suite (Version 6.6.0.5) to copy my DVDs. I am able to copy DVD movies on Staples, CompUSA, TEON, FujiFilm brand DVDs. I have NEC ND6500A DVD+-RW Drive.

But when I use recently bought TDK or Imation brand DVDs, I get "Power Calibration Error". I have used Imation DVDs and I was able to copy sucessfully.

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Thanks for your help...
