I tried that probably 100 times-no luck, but thanks anyway.
Today I hookup drive (it's DDV 451s) directly to my PC without removing it from the chasis. It works great, reads anything I throw on it. That means it's a chip on the board. Looks like original firmware was "lnfa 1090.C01". At least that what it says on chip.
Does that maen is DEAD or I can still try something else?
If not I'm gonna use drive in my PC, unless I can find somebody with 5005 with dead drive in it. Or mayby I can use ILO with this drive ?
Can this be done? Will proper firmware make it "ALL WRITE" ?

Hello-
I have VHS movies I wish to preserve on DVDs. I also have a Chinese wife who uses the closed captioning to help her learn English.
if I use the hack to defeat macrovision and make fair use back ups on DVD, will the closed captioning still work on the DVDs?
Thanks for your help

Yes, closed captioning will work. If the source you are recording from has closed captioning to begin with. I did the same thing for my kids with cartoon and it worked fine.

Has anyone had any luck in getting the macrovision hack to work on the 1107HC1?

Do you know if this works on DVD's, or just for VHS? I applied the hacked firmware to my 1107HC1 and I can now record from HBO. I haven't tried copying video tapes or dvd's yet so not sure if that works. I'm just so happy that I can now record my shows or movies off HBO without that nasty copyright message.

Check out SIMA model CT-2 and you can record DVD to DVD with no problem. At least I've never had a problem. Check e-bay for best prices. The stabilizers work better for VHS to DVD. When I used one for DVD to DVD I thought the picture was too bright. Good Luck!

I actually was going to buy one of those because I couldn't record off HBO but since I applied the hack, I don't need to get one. As far as DVD to DVD, wouldn't it be easier to do it on a computer and use something like DVD Shrink? I would think that a DVD wouldn't fit on a disk doing the copying on the stand alone recorder. I guess if your recorder will handle dual layer, it would work. My recorder will do multi-format, but I don't think it does dual layer.

You're much better off 'backing up' a DVD with your computer
And yes, a hacked LiteOn or ilo is much better than a non-hacked with a video stabilizer

I had actually bought an LG recorder first. I like to record shows to watch later so I decided to record a show off HBO and it immediately came up with the copyright message and the recording ceased. I thought this is ridiculous when I can easily tape off my VCR. Then I found this forum and read about the LiteOn's and decided to get one. Overall, I am really happy with it. The only thing I wish it had is S-video. But it does have component out so when I get a new tv in the future, that should be good, right? Isn't component connections better than S-video? The LiteOn seems more responsive than the LG. The LG took forever to read a disk. One thing about my LiteOn is when I first start it up, it makes this ping noise for a second. Is that normal, do you know?

I have 3 LiteOn LVW-5005 recorders . . I've hacked them all and I've replaced all 3 drives . . I've worn 2 out and the 3rd was given to me dead . . so far I've used a SOHW1633s, a SOHW1693s and a SHM160P6S . . I really liked the recorders when I first purchased them . . but after replacing the drives, they're awesome . . I press record and they start like right now! Finalizing takes less than 30 seconds and I can even booktype with the recorder that I put the SHW160P6S in . . what I did was to install it in my computer and update the firmware and download the booktyping utility
LiteOn recorders are an excellent value
By the way, one of the LVW-5005 recorders had a Sony drive in it

I'm confused......I thought you asked the question "Do you know if this works on DVD or just for VHS?" So that's the question I was trying to answer for you. The first LiteOn I bought was the 5101, which cannot be hacked, so I used the sima ct2. It worked great. I have since purchased 2 LVW 5005 and 2 LVW 5007, all hacked and working great. But, that wasn't your question was it? If you already know the answers, don't ask the questions.

Yes, that is exactly what I was asking. Even though I can record off HBO now, I still may want to back up some DVD's and in case it doesn't work, I wanted to know if the one that Shass posted, or the Sima you posted about would work. So I guess I didn't know the answers. Thanks for your help.

The ilo 05 recorder is not made by LiteOn . . I believe that it's an Emerson

The ilo 05 is Cyberhome [Same as the Cyberhome 1600]
I have three and use them for playing. [Recording is good]
By the way they are good, will play anything and are cheap.
The Cyberhome 300 player is good and at $30 to $35 is better than many at 2 to 3 times the price
PS
The Cyberhome 1200 is the same as the 1600 with no DV input, The electronics are there but no input cable or plug in.
The Firmware is different

I know that you can 'downgrade' the firmware on the LiteOn LVW5005 to 0098, then you can apply all of the hacks

I have recently purchased a Liteon LVW-5005. Maufacture date is April, 2004. I have tried to hack this unit and it just will not. When I put in the hack CD it just comes up "DATA DISC". I've successfully hacked 3 other 5005 and 3 5007's, with NO problems. I hacked with the LNFA1098. Anyone else have this problem? Do I need an earlier hacked version because of the manufature date? I'm confused! Anyone have any ideas??? Thank You in advance.

If you press setup on the remote a Series of letters and Numbers will be at the top towards the right
Post them and we can go from there
LNFA1098 Might be a catch all for a lot of Liteon units The letters would not appear correct

The unit does go back some time
Are you sure that all the mumbers are correct
There should be another set of four
Example [and is a 5005 SN # but the numbers could be different
SN 0102-1140-0098--G2BC -- Those in (xxx-xxxx)are not involved
The 0102 looks ok
The 1140 would indicate the unit series. It might be 1840
The 0098 would be the system Firmware 0063 is a much older firmware
The G3BC would be the DVD drive firmware
The 0143 may be correct but doesn't seem right
There are a number of versions of the 5005 firmware and many will not be accepted by a specific unit
If the # are correct I do not see it listed and will direct you to a site that might have an answer
