Lite-On AllWrite LVW-5005 DVD/CD Recorder
Not as bad as they say
Over A year ago, I bought the LVW5007.  I was very happy with it.  It had TVGuide which was awesome.  But after 11 months, it went belly up. I emailed Lite-on tech support (yes folks EMAIL) and was VERY HAPPY with their response (there is a 1yr warantee on this puppy).  Unfortunately, the 5007 is hard to get, so they offer me the LVW5005.  It's pretty darned good.  I record from VCR to DVD no problems.  I copy my vinyl to CDs no problem.  It makes VideoCDs (if you care).  It rights DVD+/- RW ( hence the name ALLRight) The user interface is friendly, but limited.  I found LiteOn easy to deal with and they stand behind their product.
