We know all about flying pickets in the UK - they were very common during the miners' strikes of the 1980s. Thatcher hated them. There was even an a capello act of the same name, who had chart success in this country and elsewhere who were very vocal in their support for the picketing workers. It all ended in tears though as the mines were all shut, just as the workers were predicting, a few years later.
I have a liteon VCR/DVD recorder that I found from Goodwill 2 years ago for 15 dollars, and it let's you record on either VHS or DVD, or let's you convert your tapes to DVD. The only problem with it is that the DVD tray won't open and is jammed shut, but it will still read discs perfectly if you take the top of the machine off and put the disc in directly. It's a very nice machine that looks like it wasn't used very much. You are right, these budget machines are great except for failing often /:
@35:40 nice to hear - I've been collecting motors the last few years from cassette decks - and harvesting belts :) what platform are you selling that on? I have had good success on Canuck-audio mart signed up this year - only sold local though via pick up.
I have been using 1 LWV5005 and 3 LWV5045 since 2005. Original DVD RW fails quickly. However, if you can find an old generation IDE DVD RW that can write at 1x speed used in the computer, it is compatible. It works without any problems.
No, for that matter I don't own any CDR drives other then the one in that memorex stereo with the CDR drive. My old computer has a DVD writer in it and my newest which is about 12 years old now has a Blu-ray burner. Of course it can write a CD but not a double density.
I remember when I got my computer with the LiteOn Lightscribe Multiformat drive it and while running Windows XP it would like Tesco CDs/DVD/RW discs but under Linux Mint 12.1 it would actually read/write Tesco CDs/DVD/RW discs.
@40:00 yeah that video parsing is insane and locked into needing that player to combine them. - yikes. I think your assesment of a/b field could be correct but you'd have to analyze each field closer?
Used to own two of these. One branded as LiteOn and one as Dell or something. Both worked great until the drives flaked out. I took them apart and attempted to replace the drives but never got either one working. Still have some of the discs recorded from it.
Might have been Gateway rather than Dell-branded. Don't know why a computer company was selling rebranded video recorders but I recognized what it was and it was cheap so I bought it. The fam was arguing over the first one so the second one was designed to solve the fighting.
I have a Liteon recorder, but I've also had a ton of Liteon burners that I bought for computer builds. Could you swap drives with the drives from computers since they are Liteon drives and IDE? Or... Is the firmware specific to that model drive?
It was possible to change the drives out for computer ones (I have one of the hard drive ones with such a replacement drive) but they were very particular about what they would take. For reference I have an SHW-160P6S in my LVW-5025. The good thing about this drive is it, being a later unit is very unfussy with media - it'll burn just about anything at full speed. I did have to cut away some of the metal chassis to get it to fit though and mounting it straight was a challenge!
My friend had the same machine, it really did a great job. But later on it just failed to write disks, cleaning the lense did nothing so i checked the power supplies just in case. The psu was fine. We had tried different brands of disk but no change. That was 6 years ago. it found it's new home in the dust bin. Maybe the laser had kicked the bucket lol.
The speeds of recording affect bitrate so the more you go down in quality means more record time. I use to buy the DL discs and record in the HQ recording and I’d get 2 hours worth of recording in the highest bitrate. Not all dvd players could play DL discs that weren’t a store bought film. I had players that could.
Not every stand alone recorder could record dl disks. The avchc disk i use to okay the hd test video on the Blu-ray beside my bench is a DVD+rw dl and it plays it fine. I still have a few spindles if blank dl disks.
14:41 I thought SVCD were 480x480 NTSC or 480x576 PAL One advantage over VCD is that they allowed interlaced video. OK never mind, I wrote this as I was watching.
I wonder maybe Swap the drive PC boards around So firmware Matches, i had good luck on XBox drives , both 360 and Original Xbox Drives doing so, Most time it was Bad lasers on some drives, So instead of changing that i just Swapped the boards around then Put New drive into the Machine using that Machines Match Board for the DVD Drive i put in, never had any issues, Maybe try that on DVD players. Not sure if works, but just might.
Thats not what he was talking about, he confirmed the file size in the video as well. The question is, why all the VOB files are duplicates. There are several VTS, all with the same VOB data as the others.
@@dlarge6502 I didn't refer to that fact. I just wanted to point it out. I think the recorder stores the different speeds in one file is what he was trying to say, which makes it problematic for Adobe Premiere to properly read the files. Changing bitrate is no issue, but changing resolution and field configuration withing the same file is.
I know from experience if the file is over a 1gb it will split the file into another file. Depending on the recording speed so SP if you recorded for 2 hours none stop that one file would have at least 4 VOBs. Every 30 minutes would be 1gb equaling 4gb a size of a single layer dvd.
@@12voltvids I have a HP Computer with a LiteOn Lightscribe but I have tried to get the drivers working under Wine64+Winetricks64+Zip.dll but wasn't having it but the drive worked with the lightscribe software but not using that machine anymore.
The problem is the lack of stuff that can play VCD/SVCD as although western DVD players can read Audio CD and files off a CD-R they dont recognise a VCD anymore. Eastern markets are still using VCD and SVCD, or at least they were certainly using it much later than we were so thats why the cheap DVD players made with generic chinese chips will play them. None of my "main brand" players will play the VCD's I used to make. For that I must use VLC or my much older (pre-digital switchover) Philips HDD recorder. The funny thing is that all the other players support that strange US-centric DivX disc format. Never got that service here in the UK yet every Japanese made player sent towards the west supported it :D
@@12voltvids That reminds Me to get My Goldwing ready for Sale. No one to ride or Camp with anymore. GWRRA does not exist anymore Either. No one wanted to take over the Organization from the original Founders..
Yes there -R and -RW and -RDL and there’s +R +RW and +RDL all do the same thing record but also do different things in different players it’s so confusing. There’s also DVD Ram which records on a disc but acts like a hard drive disc in a computer. There’s also CD-R and CD-RW. The RW stands for rewritable where you can erase the recording and free up space. You could do this about 1000 times per disc. The DL stands for dual layer so you had two layers of recordable space.
What it looks like to me is they are time compressing both fields and recording them as a single field. When. I switched to the 6 hour speed it crashed the encoder and I had to cut it out.

Do you have any drives that can record DDCD from the Purple book standard?

Loving these DVD recorder videos!!😁👌
I remember when I got my computer with the LiteOn Lightscribe Multiformat drive it and while running Windows XP it would like Tesco CDs/DVD/RW discs but under Linux Mint 12.1 it would actually read/write Tesco CDs/DVD/RW discs.
I remember my first DVD player, a Pioneer DV-414, had undocumented VCD and SVCD playback.

SVCD had 480x480 pixels on NTSC and 480x576 pixels on PAL/SECAM AFAIK. So, not quite DVD resolution.
DVD resolution is 720x480. Blu Ray resolution is 1920x1080 and 4K Blu Ray is 3840x2160.
I have a Liteon recorder, but I've also had a ton of Liteon burners that I bought for computer builds. Could you swap drives with the drives from computers since they are Liteon drives and IDE? Or... Is the firmware specific to that model drive?
It wont work, and its not worth it. Liteon has always been garbage,
From what i remember the firmware was specific to the drive.
It was possible to change the drives out for computer ones (I have one of the hard drive ones with such a replacement drive) but they were very particular about what they would take.
For reference I have an SHW-160P6S in my LVW-5025. The good thing about this drive is it, being a later unit is very unfussy with media - it'll burn just about anything at full speed. I did have to cut away some of the metal chassis to get it to fit though and mounting it straight was a challenge!

The psu was fine.
We had tried different brands of disk but no change.
That was 6 years ago.
it found it's new home in the dust bin.
Maybe the laser had kicked the bucket lol.
LiteON are known for awful PSU's. They plagued the early intel iMac's and are just sad to work on.

@@12voltvids yea the early ones couldn’t do DL discs I remember that it was later on. Never had one that could record on CDs though.
@@ryans413 ifaik this is the only one that did. This specific model.
Showing repairs on unconventional items makes it more interesting.
Did it allow you to flip the disc and enter in a title for the disc and burn it to the label side.
No. It was not capable of doing that.
Those were only available in PCs

The maximum file size of DVD video is 1024 MB. If the recording is longer, the stream is split into multiple files.
Thats not what he was talking about, he confirmed the file size in the video as well.

What about replacing the drive with a Lightscribe drive for a computer.
Sure you have the cuatom firmware as I don't.

"No" work you say? I have a couple of digital clocks that keep on ticking maybe you can fix them. Keep the camera rolling.
ive had 2 of theses, JUNK. kept getting stuck & failing when finaliseing the disks :-(
Made a few coasters with mine. That's why I stopped using it years ago.
SVCD isn’t bad at all for short projects
