Lite-On AllWrite LVW-5005 DVD/CD Recorder
Happy
I paid $120 for this dvd recorder <br />I've been able to transfer tapes from VHS to DVD; VCD to DVD; TV to DVD and the only problem I had was finding the 'finalize' button (need to go into special menu then select finalize) it could be made more clear in the instructions but is really very simple after you do it once <br /> <br />You should note the 'recommended dvd' list it does make a difference - most notably when having trouble reading a disk <br /> <br />I dont see how you can go wrong with what you spend and what you get.  I buy blank dvd's for $0.50 each. and have already recorded roughly 40 DVDs on it.  highly recommended if you have a use for it. <br /> <br />downsides - fan noise, ambient light, gets stuck in loop when not able to read a disk well (hence the better disks recommended)I  powered off and back on and then was able to get the disk out and threw it away.
