What about the LG Double Layer 12x DVD DUAL R/RW/RAM IDE Burner - it writes to ALL formats (including DVD-RAM) and quite cheap - about £50 last check.

I have a DVD writer in my main pc :) I'm after a new dvd player for my TV downstairs and just thought I could kill two birds with one stone :)

Although the only problem with my current dvd player is that you have to grab the tray when it's out because it goes straight back in again :)

Re: DVD recorder
 

These devices r***ve the macrovision which is what messes up picture and sound when u try and record on vhs/dvd recorder.

Havent any personal experience of using them. Seek further advice before purchasing.

Re: DVD recorder
 

You don't need any of these with the LiteOn 5005.

It can be made region and macro free with info found easily in places like this http://forum.liteonit.com.tw/

Re: DVD recorder
 

I ordered a Liteon 5005 from amazon.co.uk

Thanks for all your help :)

And I'm going to checking out the region free links shortly (as I have quite a few region 1/3 discs)

I don't think you'll get a better recorder for the price :tu:

Re: DVD recorder
 

So here we are wednesday - and amazon.co.uk have delivered my blank dvd+rw's....

But not the machine itself, I am NOT a happy bunny, I paid for the faster delivery service too :(

Re: DVD recorder
 

ring em up and give em hell :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: DVD recorder
 

I've just had a reply to my email asking what's going on - and they say it will arrive tomorrow.... I'm still a tad irritated tho.

Despite what everyone says about ebuyer - I've had less trouble with them than I've ever had with amazon....

I even ordered from amazon rather than ebuyer to get it quicker.

Still i'm sure I'll be happy again tomorrow when it shows up ;):D

Re: DVD recorder
 

OOOOhhhh I got it - and it looks nice :)

I've got some things to do before I can set it up - then I'm going to have a play :)

Re: DVD recorder
 

nice one , have fun :D :D :D

Re: DVD recorder
 

Ok - so it's all up and running quite nicely....

I have one small question tho :)

Please have a look at the attached picture and tell me what you think the little bits are on the bottom right hand corner. They are on all recordings. Just to clarify it's the little block of colour right in the bottom right hand corner...

When it's playing/recording on the tv you can't see it - only on my laptop and my computer.

I was wondering if it's something to to with subtitles (you know like the teletext information you sometimes see along the top of a colour picture)

Re: DVD recorder
 

I know it's cheeky - but I'm bumping my own thread - cos the thing with the picture is quite irritating....

Any ideas anyone ?
