Pinnacle Dazzle Video Creator Platinum (230100037) Video Capture
 

Product Description

 
Dazzle® Video Creator Platinum from Pinnacle Systems is a plug-and-play USB 2.0 device that allows you to record your home videos and TV recordings directly to DVD from a VCR, camcorder or other video equipment with analog outputs. The Dazzle is so easy to connect - you just have to connect your camcorder and plug into your PC's Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. With the included Pinnacle Instant DVD Recorder software, you can record your videos directly to DVD without first copying them to your hard drive - thus saving both your time and space. It uses a hardware encoding chip for real-time video encoding into high-quality MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and DivX formats without taxing your computer's CPU resources. Combined with Instant DVD Recorder software and Studio QuickStart software, the Dazzle® Video Creator Platinum allows you to create fully polished movies with titles, transitions, music and more, before archiving onto DVDs or sending them to mobile devices.

Review: PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE.

Date of Review:  Feb 29, 2008
The Bottom Line: VHS needs to die. For kids movies and things you can't really get on DVD, this is a nice alternative.
Review: We bought this to convert all of our VHS tapes over to digital format. We moved about 45 movies over to a 1TB hard-drive connected to a Windows MCE computer.

Good: It's very very simple. Hook up the VCR to the Dazzle. Hook the Dazzle up to...
