I'll keep this short ... despite a bad review on Amazon, I bought this product. I received it promptly, I installed the highly regarded Pinnacle Studio v14 software FIRST, on my computer, AS INSTRUCTED. I connected the Canon DV tape camcorder to the Dazzle with the 'AV Out' cable that came with the camcorder originally, plugged the Dazzle into a front-mounted USB port on the computer, launched Studio, and imported 6 year old video from tape to disk by simply hitting the 'play' button on the camcorder ... I have a lot more work to do for video editing, but this beats the HELL out of installing a machine specific capture card. I can't think of a simpler way to capture tape-based video. You can pick from a variety of file outputs, I used AVI and I'll probably experiment more and use whatever burns to DVD the best for HD tv viewing. I was dreading the pain of capturing old video, but this has made it much easier than I expected, at a very reasonable cost considering the hardware/software package you get. In fact, it works well enough that I'm willing to stick with my DV tape camera for a while longer. More importantly I have old but good quality video of family, dogs and fun that I can now capture and save to DVD.

Well I purchased this product a few days ago for recording montages and such off my xbox 360. The installation was easy and only took a few minutes. When I recorded my first gameplay from my xbox 360. I had fames dropped and experienced a ton of audio lag, which was a major problem. I messaged pinnacle studios and they help me out a ton although they take forever to respond in the live chat. But after I changed a few settings in Studio 14 HD it works phenomenally. Another great feature of this product is the Pinnacle Studios 14 HD is very easy to use and is way better then windows movie maker and it has some great features (watch the tutorial videos they show you some cool features). It is definitely a great product and overall I give it 4 stars. I would give it 5 stars, but I do experience audio lag occasionally when I am recording from my xbox 360.

The Dazzle "HD" is a joke. It's the same device as the previous Dazzle. They just threw in the "HD" part to trick consumers. The HD part only reflects the program it comes with. Yes, the program "Pinnacle Studio" is HD, but the Dazzle itself does NOT capture HD quality video.

The only way it can capture HD quality video is if it is wired through Component cables or HDMI. The dazzle offers none of it. It only offers S-Video and Composite...Which do not provide HD quality videos...

I Have the Dazzle for about 2 days and have had no problems with it the included pinnacle studio hd 14 is delightful and easy to use it also works with windows movie maker and beats my old dazzle dvc 170 i got back 4 years ago so if your looking for a way to bring tapes over to dvds and looking for a good quality recording tool look no further then the dazzle video creator plus hd

Dazzle is what it is. I mean, I'm upset that they called this HD, because it definitely isn't, but it's an okay capture card. I have no idea what it is with the bad reviews where people can't get the card to work. It's not dazzle's fault you don't know how to use a computer, lol.

The card is okay, I have plenty of edits I've done on youtube, which I would link to show you the quality but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to. Oh well I'll try, youtube dot com slash seed419. You can see PLENTY of examples of what the output will look like from your dazzle HD if you connect it to an xbox 360 with composite video cable. I'm not sure yet if S video makes a big difference, but the cable I need is kinda expensive so screw it.

Anyway, rambling here I guess. Card is meh, quality isn't amazing, neither is the video editing software. If you want REAL HD quality, you're better off getting a higher end capture card than dazzle. Look at my videos I've posted, and decide if that's okay with you. Me, I'm getting a REAL capture card soon, but I'm satisfied with what time I spent with my dazzle ;)

Software sometimes crashes, it's notorious for it...but it saves everything so no big deal...think that's all ;)
