There's a bargain to be had
5/5

It is able to convert analog video into digital format very well thanks to the Dazzle DVD Recorder hardware. Whenever my wife shoots, she leaves unrecorded sections of tape in between each shot, which can be difficult for a unit to frame correctly. However, there were a few frames that had to be removed from the next section of recording due to the Dazzle unit's ability to synchronize quickly. An upward-looking part of a scene was placed at the bottom of a scene because a previous unit could not resynchronize in these circumstances. It is the software that comes with the unit what makes it a good bargain. With Pinnacle Studio 10, you get a lot more tools. With video editing software like iMovie 5 there are a lot of features to choose from. It may be that there is a newer version of this software available on the market, but in this version you will be able to create a good-quality video that can also be placed on a Windows XP is the operating system for the software and drivers. My recommendation would be to go to their web site and download the latest drivers for the Dazzle DVD Recorder and the Studio updates before you proceed. With version 10, you get everything you need. You can find it in version 5. For version 10, you will need to download it. The latest version of version 7 is Various versions of Win8, Pixie5Updater, etc. In version 10, improvements have been made. Vista compatibility is provided by Pinnacle according to Pinnacle, but I have not personally tested It is recommended that you download a patch called Pixie5Updater before installing Studio. There was a problem with Internet Explorer 7 compatibility, which was fixed by this patch. The installation will stop on some systems if this patch isn't first applied. This patch is required for the installation to work properly. I bought Pinnacle Studio 10 before I bought the Dazzle unit, and I paid more for the software than I did The reason I consider it a bargain despite the new version being released is that it is so inexpensive.

Product does what it is advertised to do
3/5

With this product, I was able to copy programs that I had saved on my Tivo to DVD. I am very satisfied with the product. Installing the software can be a bit tricky. I had to install it twice before it worked. Because I do not have Vista, I have not come across some of the issues other users have reported. As the software included with the package is for XP, you must download the Vista patch (no problem). The first thing I had to do was adjust the preferences after I had installed for the video signal to be picked up. According to my research, it has to do with my old laptop (a cheap one). Although I have a similar computer, I am sure I'm not the only one out there. Whether it works or not at the beginning depends on your level of persistence (thus, check the Pinnacle website). It can be a bit difficult to get the software installed, but once you do, it's quite nice. For example, the software included does more than edit videos, though you can upgrade if you want something more fancy. Software included in the package is more than adequate in my opinion.

I eventually got it to work
3/5

Originally, I bought the Dazzle DVD recorder so that I could copy my VHS tapes to DVDs. A few old videos from a trip and a few instructional videos are the bulk of my collection. At least so far, the Dazzle appears to be performing as expected, but it took me a long time to get it set up. I had trouble installing both the Instant DVD Recorder software, as well as Pinnacle Studio for it to work. Both times, Instant DVD froze, and I had to restart my computer. As for Pinnacle Studio, it also froze twice. The second time I tried to install it, it froze when it appeared to be almost done. It said it was configuring the software when it froze. I had to carry out a ctrl alt delete to close the program after about 10 minutes. Although I saw that it was working on my computer, it must have completed installation. It was the first thing I tried to do with it, using Studio for editing some mini-DV home movies that I wanted to put onto In the instructions, the camcorder says it can be connected to the computer via a USB cable however, Pinnacle Studio says it cannot be connected that way, and must be connected via As I didn't have one of those, I went looking for an S-type To hook it up through the Dazzle, you need a video cable. We searched for it for three days, but couldn't find it therefore, we can't comment on the functionality of the system as it relates to it. VHS to DVD with Studio was the first option I tried. As a result, the video recorded by the device was choppy, I decided to use a different VHS tape because I thought it might have been damaged. It is exactly the same as the first time.

I couldn't figure out what the problem was with Pinnacle Studio, so I tried using Instant DVD software.

to handle a pro's demands but easy to use for the general public
5/5

With the DVD burner, you can now convert vintage tapes to DVDs. In a short amount of time and with a little imagination, you can digitize VHS tapes, add a menu, perhaps some background music, and voila, you can create DVDs of If you wish to upgrade to the full suite package, you will need to upgrade to the included software. I am in the studio - I am in the studio In the Premium or Ultimate version, you have more control over transitions and more importantly, the software If you are expecting video editing to be difficult, you will be surprised by how much video editing options it provides. Before you can connect this device, you should install the software and restart your computer. The two reasons, in my opinion, to purchase a more expensive device are the following In this case, you would like to export Digitally capturing HD video is something you want to do. However, the purpose of the device is to digitize standard VHS videos.
