Dave,
I've found the Lite-On LVW-5045 gives good audio and video quality, (after
applying the latest firmware updates). Editing on it is very basic but very
simple to use, but the split points are slightly unpredictable and when say
removing ads from a recording before burning to DVD. Wanted frames tend to
be omitted and unwanted ones included which is then difficult to put right
because of the 4 second limitation, with the very short or non-existent
fades that TV programmes use it makes the finished article messy.
With all the many hours of stuff I've captured to the PC I can edit exactly
to the frame I want. But when I've tried to edit a few DVDs produced by the
Lite-On to correct the bad splits on the PC (copied to hdd, a problem in
itself which I don't have with any other DVDs, DVD Decrypter seems to do the
best job) with different problems depending on which software I'd used, the
best result was a disc with no sound track using TMPGEnc DVD Author. Just
was just hoping that someone would come up with something that they knew
would work!
Bill.

Hi Bill
I do my editing with the 5045 - haven't tried doing it on my PC.
If I had digital camcorder stuff to edit I'd probably copy it to the 5045
first.
Are you anticipating any particular problems?
I have a copy of Pinnacle Studio 9 but haven't installed it yet.
