I have Nero 8 and 2 optical drives. A Plextor PX-716A DVD burner and a LG GCE-8520B CD burner. I've had seemingly the same setup for years now (Nero 8 for 6 months). Now I can't burn any DVD's on my DVD drive. But I can burn whatever the the CD burner with Nero. When I try to burn a DVD with any kind of data, I get a "power calibration error" and then a "Session fixation error". Here is the log:

Note: I can burng CD-R's with the Plextor drive. The media I use has been Memorex 16x DVD's and 52x CD's (same kind for years).
The batch of DVD's I'm using worked fine. I'm only half way through the spindle. I also have never had a problem with Memorex media withing the last 5 years.
