Dazzle USB video capture device

Q: Is this device Pinnacle Dazzle DVD Recorder HD - Video Input Adapter - USB 2.0 compatible with Windows XP? What else I need to buy to be able to burn DVD from VHS cassette using this device?

A: This product is not compatible with Windows XP. Otherwise, it comes complete with everything needed to convert video in order to burn to DVD.

Q: Computer crashes mid way through a vhs tape capture

A: Return it. Spent too much time trying to mess with it. Does not work at all with Microsoft 10. Must be a better product out there.

Q: Is this Windows 8.1 Compatible?

A: Yes,it has a camcorder import button.It requires composite rca type cables which are included or if you want S-video output you will have to supply this yourself.this catures this to your hard drive.I wrote a detailed instructions on this product on Best Buy reviews.Find the review by algrn and I give a step by step instruction because there is no instruction book that comes with this,that is why I go into detail about it and it is too much to write here

Q: Need to exchange my older dvr/cable box(Charter) for a current Charter dvr cable box & want to know if my dvdr'd programs(on old cable box) can be saved/transferred/recorded on dvd discs or ??? What do I need to purchase to accomplish this?

A: Yes - any audio/video you can play through RCA cables (in my case) can be recorded on your computer. You can then save it for playing on your computer or other devices as well as making a DVD. I believe it also accepts a S-Video signal as well.

Q: Hello I currently have dazzle dvc100 the red one and never had a problem. I currently upgraded my pinnacle to version 14 and my computer to a Windows 7 64bit. My dazzle won't work any more does this version of dazzle work on Windows 7 64 bit? Thanks

A: I have Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 on my Dell Laptop, and I have the Dazzle Video Capture USB V1.0. I just recently upgraded the Pinnacle Studio for Dazzle to Pinnacle Studio 20 - 64bit and it runs fine. Make sure that you check your computers specifications against the recommended requirements of the Pinnacle software that you are upgrading to. Pinnacle Studio requires A LOT of processing power and memory to run efficiently. There is a program that you can download from the Pinnacle web-site that will test your system to see if Pinnacle will run on it. Mine barely made the specs for rendering 1080 HD video. I believe that it was called NEMO Check. Try here first for information on Pinnacle Studio issues; https://support.corel.com/hc/en-us/categories/202536578-Pinnacle

Q: Can I record a VCR tape to DVD?

A: Yes. Install the s/w and drivers on your PC, then simply attach the RCA or S-Video "Out" on your VCR player with the provided cables, then the USB to your computer. Then load up the PC s/w, and off you go! Press play on the VCR, and at the same time click Record within the Import section of the s/w on the PC and let the tape play. You can pause or stop the recording anytime. Once imported/captured, then the s/w allows you to edit the recorded movie, add titles, etc. before exporting to a DVD or other format. Dead easy!

Q: I have a Sony handyman and looking for a way to put the recoded video easily onto a DVD. Does this decide plug in via USB to video camera and just make a DVD? If not, what could I use?

A: If it is the hi 8 I would look for something else, the for some reason it will not transfer sound. If you can figure that out I would say but it

Q: Can I record shows off my tv that are on my dvr

A: Yes!

Dazzle: Great for all skill levels
I only need my Dazzle for digitizing stuff from my DVR, which has only a wee capacity. Being able to store movies, concerts, and shows to watch at my leisure is a great convenience. This basic use is easy to learn, even if you have no experience editing video. I'm now starting to teach myself about more of the associated software (Pinnacle)'s bells and whistles, in order to edit home video and my friends' musical performances into something resembling a professional video production. In fact, I like my Dazzle so much, the prompt for me to offer this review came after I bought a second one, for a friend. One tip before I go: After capturing your video, and dragging your file(s) into the timeline, let the entire audio track turn from amber to green and disappear before you start trimming out commercials or bumpers. Otherwise, you run the risk of the final export having its audio out of sync. That bit was NOT in the user manual.

Nice Price.
Software not perfect but does the job I can capture a 4:3 vcr home movie and by setting the capture to 16:9 it gives you a good full screen on a HD style set with no black bars on the sides or top and bottom of my screen. I used power director to multi-trim and edit down to single frames and omit other unwanted scenes then burn to Blu-Ray or DVD. I was going to buy a usb adapter for $20 but discovered this was the better deal my decision was made when other capture device would have failed using power director I know this because when I tried using Dazzle alone(with Power Director) it didn't perform no where close to that of the HD DAZZLE using their software. When trying any other adapter I would have had those annoying black bar's on sides and video - sound problems I'm not un-happy I spent the extra! Had I went the less expensive route I would have failed.

Fairly easy way to digitize your old videos
Product was relatively easy to install on my laptop. Setup between the VCR was simple. Transferred 4 home videos during the bitter winter months then lost interest. It is time consuming because you have to let the video play in order to capture it onto your PC. I then burned one DVD of the captured videos to give to a family member. That part I fumbled through because I didn't read any directions. Probably easier had I read!
