Firmware Upgrade For LiteOn LVW-5005

At 3-hour speed 352x480, 3.3Mbps bitrate. It makes sense to do the upgrade for the bit rate.

 

Hi All =p
HAve you lot notice that Lite-on website isnt letting peeps download firmware ! , it shows a server error .
Does anyone have the latest firmware at all ?

Hey everybody! I have a question. Does anybody have or know how to switch the recorders format from DVD+VR to DVD-Video? I spoke to Lite-On techinical support and they said that the recorder was mechanically capable of doing it but that the firmware isn't configured to do it. He also implied that it could be possible as well as Divx playback with a firmware hack. Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

If you go to www.liteonit.com it tells you that they do support div-x & which drivers to use , but not where to download them from ! Dumb Eh !

 

catfreak- Once again your wisdom shines like a lighthouse beacon !!! ordered the Liteon -5005 from Newegg ! It is in Dallas Tx. according to UPS soon to be winging or rolling its way Home to daddy! So as you might guess I been reading and researching the Liteon 5005 both on afterdawn.com & elsewhere on the web ! and your non-hacked solution to the macrovision problem is genius , Achem's Razor in action - all things considered the simplest explanation is usually the best or right one /answer! Also I understand region coding ! But in the Lite-on 5005 if you set it for region free it mainly means that other people in different region could play your burns correct ? That would assume that they also have NTSC players & telly's right ? And also that any dvd you played on the 5005 would have to be NTSC no matter what region ? Or am I missing something here ? My point is that most counties use different TV systems PAL , SECAM, NTSC ...Ect. Not that I have access any amount of foriegn DVD's it's just more of an Inquiring minds wanna know thing ! once again catfreak thank you for being so smart ! Happy Burning & HaPPY HOLIDAYS !!!!!!!!!

 

Hi everyone,

I have purchased LVW-5005 DVD-Recorder.

I have lot's of MPEG files on DVD that I used to watch on my JWin DVD-Player.

When I try to watch it on LVW-5005, it says data disk and won't play.
Does any one know how to play my MPEG files?

Thank you

I recommend 'un-hacking' your unit by installing new system and drive firmware (unhacked version, of course) .. see if that helps you out ..
