If you want to make a home PC movie easy and fast, you have big chances to make it. But only after that the hard part begins. The copy and sharing of these CDs or DVDs to family and friends can be a painstaking process, boring and not so fast. But the new Super Multi DVD Rewriter from LG, called LG GSA-5169D, an external unit that connects to your desktop or laptop computer with Windows XP SP2 through a USB 2.0 connection, might help you.

The new LG product supports any CD or DVD format and has relatively big writing speeds: 16x DVD-R and DVD+R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 8x DVD+R Dual Layer, 4x DVD-R Dual Layer and 5x DVD-RAM, 48x CD-R and CD-RW.

Though, LG GSA-5169D is much more than a DVD writer because you can use it also for capturing video. In the back of the unit you can find four ports for connecting the LG GSA-5169D to different multimedia devices, like a television, a camcoder or a digital camera. Also, two more RCA sockets are available for stereo sound, an S-Video connector and a composite port.

LG also bundles with the new LG GSA-5169D software applications for all the user’s needs, like Nero Express 6, PowerDVD, PowerProducer Gold and InCD. Moreover, in the box you will find another software application called One Touch DVD, which promises to simplify the capturing, editing and authoring procedures of the DVDs.

One Touch DVD offers features like rotation, zoom and transitions that will make your video project to have a professional look. For simp0lifing the process, the push of a single button will write on a disk your new creation. Also, the LG GSA-5169D unit has a One Touch button that will automatically launch a wizard for the novice users that will get help for writing and recording DVDs.
