  • LiteOn LVW-5005 AllWrite recorder

    We just got one and is it ever nice.

    It can record DVD, VCD and SVCD discs using DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW. Sources can be composite, S-Video or IEEE-1394 (w/ basic camera controls) and outputs are composite, S-Video and component.

    It has several DVD quality modes ranging from 352x240 MPEG-1 at 1700 kbps (6 hrs/disc) up to 720x480 MPEG-2 at 9500 kbps (1 hr/disc), and this top setting is gorgeous.

    VCD/6 hr MPEG-1 modes are of course quite limited in quality, but SVCD is very good as are the 4, 2 and 1 hour DVD modes (4 hour uses halfD1: 352x480).

    What I also found impressive is that the MPEG-2 recordings use quite high quality settings: a DC precision of 10 (the max legal for DVD video) and the average Q (quantization) runs from 2 to 6 (lower = better). Not too shabby.

    $179 USD (at Super K-Mart)

    Can the IEEE-1394 port record DV from your MSP timeline?

    I've a GoVideo DVD recorder that works well, and will record from my DV cam, but if I try to output video from the computer there is no DV device for the computer to output to when the DVD recorder is hooked up
