Title:
  brasero burn operation fails with "Power calibration area error"

Status in “cdrkit” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: brasero

  On a Maverick amd64 system with brasero 2.32.0-0ubuntu2.2, I have
  recently experienced the following error while burning single-layer
  DVD+R's:

  Error while burning.
  SCSI error on write(256,16): [3 73 03] Power calibration area error

  This has happened twice in a row while attempting to burn the Natty
  Beta 1 i386 live DVD (ubuntu-11.04-beta1-dvd-i386.iso, md5sum
  8057e46487448c7bf5a1c39ec4408c5a). But before that, Brasero *did*
  succeed at burning this. All three times (the successful burn and the
  two failed burns) were on this same system. No packages were upgraded
  between the burns. Brasero was exited between each run and the
  subsequent run. All three times, writeable DVD media from the same
  spool were used. All three times, I had selected a burn speed of 2.4x
  (even though that is lower than the maximum that Brasero indicates is
  supported by my drive), though the first time (when the burn
  succeeded), it seemed to be indicating that this speed was being
  exceeded some of the time. I have attached the log file produced by
  the third attempt (i.e. the second unsuccessful attempt). That is the
  attempt whose running instance of Brasero's PID I invoked ubuntu-bug
  with, to report this bug. I will also attach the similar log file from
  the previous failed attempt.

  In case it's relevant, the .iso file I was burning (and then
  attempting unsuccessfully to burn again) was located on an NTFS
  partition (of the same physical disk on which the Ubuntu system is
  installed). It was accessed through a symbolic link. Specifically, the
  full path of the file being burned was
  /home/ek/Torrents/Complete/ubuntu-11.04-beta1-dvd-i386.iso; /home/ek
  is located on /dev/sda7, but /home/ek/Torrents is a symbolic link to
  /media/Wingardium/Users/ek/Torrents, which is a directory on
  /dev/sda3.

  This is on a Sony Vaio VGN-NW310F laptop. I don't have a particularly
  good source of technical details on my optical drive, but the
  technical information at
  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834117986 may be
  somewhat useful.

  The output of "uname -a" is:

  Linux Apok 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 18:42:20 UTC
  2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  I'll attach the output of "lspci", "sudo lshw", and "lsmod".

  This is probably the same bug as bug 700975. The error message is the
  same. But that bug doesn't provide a lot of information, so perhaps
  this is not the same bug...and even if it is, I figured it might be
  useful for me to file a separate report, with more information.
  Furthermore, that bug report suggests (though not conclusively) that
  bug 700975 occurred specifically when burning an image across a Samba
  share, which does not pertain here.
