Lite-On AllWrite LVW-5005 DVD/CD Recorder
LiteOn 5005 is a solid performer, excellent bargain
I tried the LiteOn LVM 5005 DVD recorder last night.  It played DVD, VCD, CD, MP3, etc.  I recorded video from cable TV and from VHS tapes.  I could save the output in either DVD or VCD formats.  No problem.  I also played a video clip (in RMVB format) from my PC and use my TV card to output to the DVD recorder.  It recorded the video in VCD format.  No problem.   <br /> <br />  The machine is pretty solid.  The silver case makes it very cyber look.  The interface is OK, although it is a little bit confusing.  You must read the manual to learn how to use.  But once you understand it, it is quite easy to use.  The picture quality is very good.  The 2-hour recording is DVD-like quality.  The 6-hour recording is VHS-like quality.  It has a timer and it works just like the VCR.  You can set your recording program schedule and it does the job nicely.   <br /> <br />  It is not too noisy.  Many playbck functions are not on the remote control.  Instead, you can to press the \\"Navi\\" (Navigation) button to access them on-screen. <br /> <br />  I give 9.5/10 for this machine.
