I was thinking of buying a second unit but wanted to know which, if any, of the other brands of units have a Macrovision hack. I already know about the ILO 04. Are there any others? Thanks in advance. Kim
The LiteOn LVW-5005 has a Macrovision hack .. and will record to DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW and records the SVCD and VCD formats to CD-R discs I have two that I really like (LiteOn made the ilo04)
I bought my second one from here ... http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10369014&SearchEngine=PriceGrabber&SearchTerm=10369014&Type=PE&Category=Comp&Gad=0&dcaid=15890 One word of caution: Make sure that you get a LVW-5005 and not a LVW-5005X. The LVW-5005X is not quite the same and doesn't seem to be as good.
[ catfreek ] I understand that the LiteOn 5005x is a rebaged ilo r04 with the 04 case. which some like better, I understood that the features were the same as the LiteOn 5005, but I dont know for sure. PS I looked at some of the sites posted but I didn't see an answer. If the 5005x were the same as the ilo R04 than why couldn't the hack. for the 04 be used. or is LiteOn a no hack firmware on the 500x
I just posted this in a new thread, but wanted to post it in this one too for anyone interested that reads this thread. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This may already be posted here. If it is forgive me. I just found out about these 2 products. They will bypass macrovision protection so that you can back up your personal store bought DVDs and VHS thus eliminating the need to buy LiteOn and ILO. Hmm, interesting, though I already own an ILO04 and have ordered a LiteOn that hasn't arrived yet. Wish I'd seen these before. This opens some new doors for options for us to back up our personal products. Here is DVD Red Pro: http://xdimax.com/dvd/dvdredpro.html and GoDVD!

[ KimTix ] Have seen your other post Have you used one of these products. I have tried similar products in the past. Stick with a hacked LiteOn/ilo, Or follow [catfreek] procedure if not wanting to hack them.
