In iTunes->Burn Playlist to Disc->Choose Options: Choose the option from the Preferred Speed pop-up menu, Change the CD recording speed, Specify a burn speed that is lower than the maximum speed rating for your optical drive. (try 1/2 that maximum speed ) Other possible variables: BE sure the disc is clean. Wipe the shiny surface with a soft, damp cloth, working from center to edge. Do not move, bump, or shake the computer while the disc is being burned. Use blank discs that are rated for the burn speed of your drive, or consider using a different brand of disc (excessively cheap or off-brand optical disks are known to have problems). Quit all open applications you’re not using. If your startup disk is nearly full, try to free up space on it. The amount of free space on the startup disk needs to be greater than the amount of data you’re burning. Erase unnecessary files. Back up files you don’t use often, and then remov

You will have to use a different media product or a different drive. Regrettably the brand name on the box tells few about the real manufacturerer and the product inside. You will have to guess. A bold and significant change should be a switch from DVD-R[W] to DVD+R[W], resp. vice versa. The error message text stems from libburn. The code [3 73 03] was reported to it by the DVD drive. The problem is not specific to the operating system. Unbuntu's Linux kernel was only the messenger between libburn and drive. "Power calibration error" is the human readable text that is registered in the MMC specification for that code. MMC-5 has about power calibration: "3.1.53 Optimum Power Calibration [...] OPC is a procedure performed by an optical storage device to calibrate laser power. Values from this calibration are used for subsequent write operations." I.e. the burner did a few test writes on the medium and was not satisfied with the results.
