Disk won't burn, weird message. Please Help!

Question

Whenever I try to burn a disk, it starts, and then ejects it with a message that says, "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
If anyone knows the problem or understands the message, please help!

right...because the xml is basically a delimited text file. This kind of file would probably rarely ever get corrupted.
ROFLMAO! Who told you that?
It'a a FILE, for heavens' sake. And to any computer, all files are essentially the same thing - a string of bytes. What makes a file vulnerable or less vulnerable is how it's handled by whatever program is using it, or to a lesser extent the storage mechanism. And when it comes to .xml files and Adobe, they don't have a particularly good track record with some of them - notably the ones they use for system settings and presets.
But I have to say that since Adobe thoughtfully gave us the option to save session data as .xml files, I haven't bothered to save them as anything else - simply because as Suite Spot says, you stand some sort of microscopic chance of being able to rescue the data when all else fails. I am fortunate - most of the stuff I do in MV doesn't use a load of tracks and absolutely no effects (live acoustic music editing), but even though the files aren't that complex, I still back them up regularly during processing because, as they regularly get rewritten and updated, they most certainly are vulnerable.
