Lite-On AllWrite LVW-5005 DVD/CD Recorder
Nice one.
Have to admit first that I haven't been able to use the recorder the way I thought I would. I planned to transfer all my digital 8 tapes to DVD to preserve the video quality, but my Sony camcorder died on me the day I tried to hook up the camcorder with this recorder with 1394 cable. I was only able to do recorder from a VHS table using composite cable. The dvd quality looks great. No visible loss of video quality and the color looks right. The interface is ok to use except that I missed renaming the titles before finalizing the DVD. The on-screen DVD button to finalize DVD is right below the button to write the DVD, with no hint that you can rename the titles (I read about it in the manual). I guess this is something it can improve on. <br /> <br />My VHS was created out of digital 8 and is the combination and multiple recorderings. There are blue screens between all recorderings. I found it difficult/unpracticle to try to remember where is gap is and remove them by stopping and restarting the recordering. This would be relatively simple if you can transfer the video into PC and edit there. <br /> <br />Overall, a nice unit.
