4 out of 5 stars Does the job but requires careful setting up   September 18, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I'd been thinking of getting one of these for an age but everyone's polarised reviews put me off completely. Then a few weeks ago I took the plunge as I needed it for a business venture as well as recording myself playing games.

All the dazzles appear to be the same device with different software so it doesn't matter too much which one you get - its more down the cables you buy in addition to your dazzle (they sadly don't tell you that when you buy it that you need more cables) which seems to effect the quality.

Depending on what cables you use (generally a double ended RCA cable and 3 Y Splitter AV cables [1 male to 2 female]) depends on how much lag you get. You can plug in camcorders and your TV and literally press "Start Capture" and it will record but if your recording yourself playing games you cannot just connect your console as there is about a seconds delay before you see what's happening on your PC. That's where the additional cables come in.

The software that's bundled with it is great if your looking to go into great detail with video editing but if not, you can use the Dazzle with Windows Movie Maker and the end result is fine.

What the Dazzle does is great (and if you want 60FPS there's a patch I believe) but just remember to set it up properly for what your using it for.



1 out of 5 stars High hopes.. dashed   September 12, 2008
Bought this hoping it would do the job; fitted it up to my new PC after installing the software - no video preview. Can see video in other apps, but not Pinnacle Studio which came with it. And when I try to grab video, computer locks. I should have known better. That's 50 I'll never see again. If you buy one, I hope you have better luck than me.


3 out of 5 stars A mixed bag   September 12, 2008
It has taken over a week to get the software and hardware up and running - eventually having to install it in safe mode - unplugging all external USB devices - and cleaning up a LOT of software issues, registry entries etc.

Studio 11 is actually a brilliant piece of software for what i need - transferring VHS home vids to DVD - however even though it now works it still takes over 3 hours to load due to some conflict that i cannot trace.

So when it works its great and does a really good job - however it can be a nightmare to get to the stage of it working.



5 out of 5 stars Does exactly what it says   September 4, 2008

Needed this to transfer all my videos to DVD. Comes with Pinnacle Studio 11 and Bonus CD and is simple and easy to use. Not only do you get the transfer function for Video, cassetes etc. you also get the full editing power for camcorder footage.


4 out of 5 stars Dazzle platinum 2008 does record in 60hz   August 27, 2008
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

The new dazzle platinum does record in 60 hz you have to download a program called AMcap and change settings every time you want to record a video however. Would be 5 star rating if it wasn't for the fact you have to tweak it a little bit to get it to record in full colour 60 hz.
