Lite-on 5001 Sale price this week.
I apologize in advance if this post is out of order, but I thought someone might like to know that Compusa has the 5001 in sale this week for $230 after a $30 rebate.

That looks like a very good price.
I'm interested in this unit. It takes too long to convert VHS tapes to DVD in my computer and I was looking at getting an interface device that would do some better digitizing than my video card. Just that device would have cost over $150, but this recorder does all the work.
Anybody have comments on the quality or overall features of the 5001?

Tons of feedback and problem reports on this site: http://forum.liteonit.com.tw/
From what I have read over the last two months this unit has a lot of trouble and a big problem with overheating. Most of the trouble seems to be taken care of with firmware updates but I would only buy it if I was attracted by the price and comfortable with the problems. There is a new model, 5005, out that uses dvd-r/rw as well as dvd+r/rw and it looks like it will be selling about $100 higher.
