Product Description |
|
Lite-On's LVW-5005 AllWrite DVD recorder revolutionizes the way you record your videos. It accepts all types of 5-inch recordable optical media: DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R/-RW, or CD-R/-RW. It's also equipped with analog and digital video inputs and MCTF (motion-compensated temporal filtering) video noise reduction to improve the quality of your programs as you record them. Playback features abound, including MP3 CD and JPEG digital image CD and progressive-scan video outputs to deliver seamless, razor-sharp images on high-definition and HD-ready TVs and monitors. The player is capable of writing most video formats, too, depending on the type of blank media you're using: from highly compatible DVD+VR-mode video discs (DVD-Video) to video CD and SVCD (super video CD). A single blank recordable DVD offers up to 6 hours of recording time (in SLP mode), which is equivalent to the maximum duration of a T-120 VHS videocassette in SLP mode. Unlike your SLP tape, however, your recordable DVDs won't degrade with every viewing, and access to points within the programs is incomparably easier. Moreover, the physical size of a single VHS cassette is about 10 times larger than a DVD disc. For all DVD recording, each new recording is always placed after previous recordings unless you intent to overwrite it (when using rewritable media). The DVD recorder can automatically divide a recording into chapters by inserting chapter marks at 2- to 15-minute intervals during recording. Editing features include title edit, title naming, title protect, title overwrite, and title erase. One-touch recording makes it easy to record favorite programs or capture video from external sources, including composite-video, S-video, and IEEE 1394 digital video. The unit's easy-track navigator provides a directory of thumbnail images so you can quickly and easily locate chapters on your DVDs. Unique thumbnails represent segments that you can play or edit. Before sharing your digital content with others, all discs must first go through a process known as finalization. Once a DVD+R, DVD-R/-RW, CD-R or CD-RW disc has been finalized, it can be played back on other CD or DVD players or on PCs. The recorder's convenient front-panel DV Link (IEEE 1394) input lets you transfer footage from digital camcorders or PC audio/video programming in their original digital quality. As a player, the LVW-5005 positions you to enjoy DVD-Video discs in NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats (depending on your media and your TV/monitor), DVD+VR (compatible with DVD-Video players in most cases), video CD, super VCD, audio CD, MP3 CD (maximum number of recognizable files: 1,000; compression rate: between 32 kbps and 320 kbps), and JPEG CD (maximum number of recognizable pictures: 1,000). The component-video input (selectable between standard 480i and progressive-scan 480p) separates the color and brightness signals to ensure the highest picture quality. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. What's in the Box
DVD player/recorder, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, an AC power cord, a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable, and an RF coaxial AV cable. Note: Lite-On recommends use of Nero 6 Ultra Edition disc-writing software, sold separately, for creating discs to be used for the components firmware upgrades. Further, not all high-definition televisions are fully compatible with this product's progressive-scan output, which occurs at 525p rather than the usual 480p, and may produce undesirable image artifacts. In the event of 525p progressive-scan picture problems, Lite-On recommends switching the component-video output to "standard definition" (480i).

 More than I hoped... |
| Review Date: May 15, 2004 |
| Reviewer: Koeeaddi, Denver |
I had been holding off on purchasing DVD recorders because of either high prices or poor reviews. I took a chance on this model, because of good reviews on the internet, it being at the right price point, and the fact that I filled up my PVR. It has exceeded my expectations. The recording quality at SP (two hours) is virtually indistinguishable from the PVR recordings from my dish. Four hour LP mode still exceeds a mid quality VCR, with no annoying flicker or color bleeding. The burner worked first time, every time. The controls, even timed record, are intuitive and simple, with an excellent system menu that makes all the features easily accessible. Pop in a disc - it is immediately recognized and formatted if necessary. You can easily set the time for chapter marks and append new material.
Amazingly, the burner accepts every type of media - DVD + or - R and RW, as well as CD-R and CD-RW, although I have not tried making a CD-V or audio CD. The instruction manual is well done and easily readable.
This is one of the best engineered pieces of hardware I have come across in years. Works better than any VCR I have ever owned. Basically, you just hit the record button and get a great recording. I have not used it yet for transferring and editing home videos, but if you just want to record from your cable or dish, this unit can't be beat. One weird glitch: Doesn't display closed captioning - at least on my Mitsubishi TV. |
Excellent!

This is just the thing for transferring VHS/miniDV to DVD. Also, with the ability to use it as a DVD "VCR" and the DV-link, it's a no-brainer at the selling price. Similarly-featured units list for hundreds more. The variety of supported media is good. Operation is easy and intuitive. The quality of recordings from standard cable signal is quite impressive. I was leary of some of the concerns other people had, but the newest revision (LVW-5005) seem to have corrected most of them. Overall, I think this is an incredible product for the price and will hope for the best on long-term reliability.
I did notice a few things that are annoying, but not critical:
-No RF modulator on the cable input (can't monitor on ch3/4 like a VCR). You have to use the RCA input on a TV or other device to monitor the unit (No big deal, most TV's have RCA input).
-I found it best (for quality) to split the incoming cable and send separate runs to the TV and LVW-5005.
-I've seen the time counters on other players get confused with discs recorded on the LVW-5005.
-You'd think that once you created your own DVD, you'd be able to copy it with DVD-XCOPY or the like. That didn't work for me. The only program I've found yet that makes copies of the outputed media is Clone-DVD. Clone-DVD seems to fix the time display problem mentioned above.
-DVD-RW and DVD+RW disks created on the LVW-5005 may not play in older DVD players, though finalized DVD-r's seem to play on anything. |
First impression is great

Before go to my experience, I want to say I will not judge a product based on where it is produced, I only care the quality.
I just bought one yesterday, tested most functions and it worked great.
Setup is easy. I set it up within 5 minutes without referring to the manual - connect it to satellite receiver, cable TV, VCR, home audio and TV. Power on and it works.
Recording is easy. I tested Memorex DVD+RW and TDK DVD+R, both works fine. Also tested schedule recording, works fine.
I played the recorded discs in my two DVD players, 2 laptops, and two desktops without any problems.
Tested all the recording mode, from TV, from Satellite, from VCR (RCA input), and Camcorder(iLink in). All pretty good.
Recoded qualities are impressive. HQ ans SP are pretty good, EP is OK since it is CIF size. SLP is MPEG-1 in CIF, can not expect more from it.
I read the recorded disks to PC and use DVD authoring tools to add better title and cut of not wanted contents, no problem.
Need to verify weekly recording capability, since someone in this forum mentioned it only record 1st and 3rd programs.
One failure so far, I guess it is my fault - I formated DVD+RW using Nero, and can not be recognized by the recorder.
So far so good. It may has some flaws, but none product are perfect. We need to be more smarter to make use of it. In my opinion, it is much better than those required only some strange disks I never heard before. I do not want to limit myself to use only some brands of disks even the recorder have 10 stars rating.
From the reviews, most problems will come out in weeks. I will keep on testing it to see what happens and post my result here. |
looks good so far

| I recorded only 1 hour of video on a DVD+RW. It functioned pretty good without problems. I played the DVD on another player and was impressed with the quality of the picture. I think VCRs are over. There was one glitch though during initial setup. It wasn't clear to me which jacks and which RF channel that the video signal was coming from: S-video, composite, component, or RF? Without a screen I couldn't see any menus to setup the system. By trial and error I found that composite output worked and it was a breeze after that. I bought a second one that I will give as a gift. I choose this model based on reviews I found on internet. There are a lot of DVD TV recorders. However only two brands supported PAL and NTCS. Philips models got poor reviews, which narrowed my choice to LVW-5005 |
An eccellent first, or second dvd recorder

This is an excellent dvd recorde, and the discounts sometimes given on it make it an excellent value. Obviously its most telling feature is versatility. it can record DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, or audio cds. The on screen menues are generally easy to understand, and the owners manual is well written. it is a good buy to people who may be new to dvd recording. i use it mainly to transfer vhs tape content to dvd, but it has other uses as well. It has an on screen display that lets you know how much time you are using at each recording session, and how much time is left to record on the dvd when you started the session. The dvds recorded on it are compatible with most dvd players. and you can write in a title for each recording session with easy to understand built in on screen displays. There are only two drawbacks to the unit. first of all take good care of the remote, because most of the functions related to recording are in the remote. But this is also true with most vcrs as well. The other thing is to be sure to leave the dvd drawer closed when not in use. i didn't do that, and banged my shin hard against the dvd drawer. This affected the units performance. But i was so pleasaed with the unit that i bought two more and make sure i don't leave the drawer open when not in use. Finally the on screen menu, from which you can pick which session to watch transfers well to other dvd players after the disc is finalized. Overall, this is an excellent product.

Have you ever wondered why your mind seems to be more active at night? Well, actually it's not, but because you are trying to relax, you are more aware. During the day, our thoughts in our daily activities, but when we lie down at night, our thoughts seem to turn. One idea follows another and another and soon we cares for all, including the fact that it is 2:30 and you still can not sleep!
How can we stop the negative thoughtspenetrate our sleep?
Unfortunately, it is easy for the negative in our thinking. The mind tends to go into the details to resolve, at the end of the day. We focus on our problems, and can build stress that staying awake.
To stop this night the torture, ask yourself the following questions:
Takes responsibility for things that you can not? Are you worried about the problems of others? Think you can think of each other and let the worriesgo.
Are you worried about something specific? Writing before going to bed. Tell yourself that you think about this problem tomorrow. Consciousness feels, but you should be aware of these disturbing thoughts stopped as soon surface. Becomes easier with practice.
Occupied the mind is not necessarily a symptom of stress. If you're creative, you have more ideas than they can handle. Write when pop-ups or use a voice recorderat the bedside.
A couple of other ways you can stop the spiral of thoughts and relax
Being aware of this, you are not your mind. Your thoughts, your personality, you are the person who is the owner of your mind and you have to say that it is under control! You do not need on the road that will take your mind not to follow.
The idea must be developed and made to think of a stress-free performance. Aware of the fact that you can get your thoughts, conscious control is the direction in which your thoughts lead.
I'm not going to trot the usual medication for sleep, just because the physical solutions do not work well for an active mind. Furthermore, it is difficult to try to relax when your mind is racing can do more harm than good. You need the spirit of your child, and one thing only focus.
Will stop the idea of developing into another and another.
How? Good place to start with, we can get some outside source to use our mind to concentrate. For example, listen to a> CD. A CD of relaxation is not always useful in these circumstances, there is a tape of instructions, when someone speaks. This will stop your mind wander and your thoughts will focus on voice, the more boring the better!
Training your mind to do what you want is the key to better sleep and less stress in your life.
