Watch DVDs and Record on Them -- All in one low-priced machine

bydlstewart Jan 15, 2005
80 Helpfuls 81 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros multiple play/record formats, auto detects disc type, excellent menu selection, easy to...
Cons DVDs may not play on all machines -- having problems within a year of purchase
Recommended it? No

I have flirted with the idea of purchasing a DVD player that not only plays DVDs but also records to them. Since VHS tapes are bulky, the thought of recording on much slimmer, compact DVDs is a temptation. Think of all the space I could save!

Then my brother phones me and says he... Read full review »

Great features - IF THEY WORKED

byphodographer Jan 1, 2005
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Features - IF THEY WORKED.. price.. potential as a VCR replacement albeit unrealized
Cons Makes disks that other players refuse to play, noisy fan
Recommended it? No

Would you buy a VCR that produces tapes that could only be played on that VCR itself? That you could not play them on any other VCR, or were not sure if you could?

Liteon LVW-5005 is an example of such a product. DVD technology is still young, and it may not all be Lite on fault, but... Read full review »

Versatile product overall but issues beware

Pros Writes to multiple disk formats
Cons All the bugs not worked out yet
Recommended it? No

I bought this product due to great experience with Liteon brand CD writers that I've purchased for computer use. Liteon continues with their technical lead and innovative features in this product. This includes the ability to write on various kinds of DVD disks and also to CD.

It is not the DVD recorder for everyone, but it works for me.

14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Not perfect, but it does what I need it to do.
Cons Finicky on the Re-Writable media that it works best with.
Recommended it? Yes

Let's face it; most people prefer DVD technology to video tape. So much so that companies are banking on it to become the standard playback machine in everyone's entertainment center. Or more accurately they are laughing all the way to the bank with all the money that they are taking from people... Read full review »

You cant ask for more FOR THE PRICE!

Pros DVD-R(W) and DVD+R(W) compatibility!, Low price, many features
Cons Lack of DVD authoring features, not stylish looking
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased the Lite-On 5005 dvd recorder for Christmas based on reviews and price for features. I checked out the Apex dvd recorders and various name brand recorders including Sony and Toshiba and the Lite-On had the best features for the price. I have bought various Lite-On computer components in... Read full review »

Nice specs but not ready for prime time

byorinocco Aug 17, 2004
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros writes DVD/CD media writes DVD/SVCD/VCD/audio CD FireWire, S-Video reasonaable price...
Cons lacks polish, can be frustrating slow performing functions makes too many coasters
Recommended it? No

On paper, the Lite-On LVW-5005 seems like a nice affordable entry-level DVD recorder. Unlike competitive entry level recorders, it has FireWire (IEEE-1394 or iLink) input, can write to many kinds of DVD and CD media, and has a reasonable price tag. However, it lacks polish. It may be suitable for... Read full review »

Not Even Suitable as a Boat Anchor

byp0sseman Sep 6, 2009
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros None that I can think of.
Cons The Lite-On AllWrite LVW-5005 DVD/CD Recorder unit I have is a piece of junk.
Recommended it? No

I own one of these Lite-On AllWrite LVW-5005 DVD/CD Recorder units and the advertising that this unit will record on just about any DVD is a bold faced lie.  When I first received this unit, I had to buy three different brands of blank DVDs before I could find one that worked.  Then, when I ran out...

Pros Easy to use menus, plays/records all discs (DVD+R/-R/+RW/-RW)

Recommended it? No

3 months ago, I read all the reviews on the Lite-On LVW-5005; some were good, some bad. I bought it anyway since it had the most features for the money and usually the bad reviews are from people who don't know what they're doing (you know, people who don't know you have to finalize a disc before...

Does exactly what I wanted it to do - copy movies.

bypwrshift Nov 12, 2005
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Inexpensive - fully featured - works well once you take the time to learn.
Cons A little difficult to understand at first - not as easy as a VCR.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought a Liteon 5005 DVD Recorder to make copies of TV shows stored on the cable company's 'personal video recorder' and use it as a way to copy my old VCR movies. While I have HDTV the cable box 'downgrades' the picture quality when allowing you 'Send to VCR' but the result is far superior to... Read full review »

This is a GREAT recorder

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Extremely simple to use. Remote clearly designed. Records all media. Excellent results.
Cons So far, I can't find any
Recommended it? Yes

Purchased this recorder at Costco for about $180 and this is probably one of the best buys I have ever made. Since purchasing this recorder about two weeks ago I have burned maybe 25 or 30 DVDs and have not had a coaster yet. The recorder acts exactly the way you would expect a VCR to act. That is...
