Lite-On 5005 interesting info from manual

[Cynthia]

Hi,
I have a Lite On 5005 on order and am expecting it Thursday, tonight I decided to download and read the manual. On page 23, editing is reviewed. The following notes is pasted from the .pdf

"Notes:
1.You can erase the recorded titles on both DVD+R/RW & DVDR/
RW discs.
2.After erasing the titles on the DVD+R & DVD-R/RW discs, the
erased space could not be utilized.
3.You can’t enable this feature when CD-R/RW discs is used."

Is it a misprint, or are they indicating space IS recovered when erasing titles on a DVD +RW disc?

Sounds like they're saying that you can erase from a DVD+RW and re-use that space.

Space is reusable on +RW, but only like it is on a VHS cassette.

DVD Recorders are, after all, intended to replace VHS.

What is more frustrating for the average user is expecting a disc recorded in VR mode to play on a friend/family's DVD player only to find out that it can't. Maybe that's why the VR mode is removed from the 5005.

Hi

Currently the only formats that provide true space management on DVD set-top recorders are DVD-RW and DVD-RAM using the VR mode

Get the @%$^%@% life.

So the LiteON (and the LG-Philip?) dual recorders only churn out DVD-RW in VideoMode-which makes them completely un-editable?

Is there a point to them having -RW/-R capability at all?

Hi,

It is not true. LiteOn 5005 only use DVD+VR mode for all the media types. They do not use DVD-Video mode.
