DVD-RW Problems
Just this morning my DVD-RW drive (TSSTCorp TS-H652L) started reading ALL of my blank DVDs as "0 bytes used, 0 bytes free so it will not burn any of them. Can someone tell me what's going on?

Which brand of CDs are you using ? Also, you might want to check your drive with a tool like Everest or WinAudit, to see if, for example, your drive support DVD-R and DVD+R, things like that.

Well, I fixed it by uninstalling it and re-installing the firmware update.

That was my next advice, to update the firmware. Glad you got it fixed.

I spoke too soon, it burned two DVDs, and now it's screwing up really badly. It now tries to read at the same speed as my old 8x CD-RW drive. Now it wants to take a whole 6 hours just to copy the data of a DVD, that doesn't even include the time to burn it.

Hrm... I guess you should ask your CD-ROM drive maker, or ask on their website's forum. I suspect it is drive related, and not options or software related.

Okay, that seems news to me. Because I never had too many DVD-burning problems since I have one on my brother's computer. I never seen any weird behavior among normal DVD-burning.
Sir, make sure you have an active warranty on that burner. If you didn't activate it, do so and then wait a couple of days. That way, the manufacturer will pretend that the player broke a couple of days after the warranty was activated. If you have no warranty at all, you're totally screwed.

the most we have on here is registration captcha and making validating the account via email. If there was a way I could add more, I would. I need to get a hold of edman and see if he could update the board software. That would help immensely.

Unfortunately all we can do is ban them, and IP Ban/ban e-mails when possible (which sadly it isn't always).
