That suggests a bad disk - OPC is Optimum Power Calibration and is a test done on all discs to find out how must power is needed to optimally write to the disc (can only be done 99 times on any disk) IIRC.

Have you tried with another disk?

 "About a year ago I was a guest on a network news show in New York.
 They were showing film clips from a gay  pride  parade  down  Fifth
 Avenue, but they only decided to show the part with men in  dresses
 and heels. I had seen the parade, and there were  men  in  business
 suits as well. After showing the film,  the  newsperson  made  some
 comments, and I found the comments extremely offensive."

 "This is what's wrong with the media," I said. "You show  a  fringe
 position. You show one point of view. You're closing the  minds  of
 the people by not showing them what the reality is." I got  up  and
 walked out, and I've never been asked back again."
