I would say bad media as well,my pioneer 111 did 13 discs on the trot all blown out saying power calibration error,got some different discs not blown one out since.

Its not the media thats bad, its the failiure of the firmware to identify it.
Updated firmware will almost always fix problems like this.
My dvd-rw's were very picky with what brand discs I used when I first installed them, so were not even showing up as in the drive at all. One small firware download and they now have zero problems.

the laser in your burner is knackered, bin it and get a new one,bet it does only after youve burnt three of four disc too,get yourself a duplicator if you make alot of discs, dont even need a pc for it just a master copy,cuts dvd in 10mins flat, acard are best.
