The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.

I am trying to burn a disc in a MacBook Pro mid 2012 and I keep getting this message that the disc can't be burned.

Any ideas what it is and how I can fix it?

MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3), Mid 2012

I can not quite read your box of discs from here. And the writing on the drive capabilities looks a little fuzzy to me.


¿Could you maybe transcribe those so I can read them better?

... and try actually doing that last line --- insert a disc and refresh the display.
