    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.

    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)

    Thank you. Can you tell me which stores carry those or where on the web to find them?

    Thanks again.

    I bought my second one from here ...

    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.

    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! Model CT-2: http://www.simacorp.com/products/item.ep.html?id=477

    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.

    No, I've never tried it yet. I'm curious if anyone else has though. Thanks for your input.
