Rating: - * Really BAD product ...
This is the worst purchase I have ever made. I would NEVER recommend this product to anyone, for any reason. 3 computers, and 3 VCRs later, and a new video card, a new USB card and a new USB hub later, I have decided to take it out in the street and run it over.....avoid this product.

This product works just exactly as advertised...Just plugged it in and started copying...The only problems I had were finding the right speed to use for my play back machine...but the Dazzle works great...

Rating: - * Dazzle DVD Recorder just what I needed ...
I am really pleased with my purchase. The Dazzle DVD Recorder has easily allowed me to begin transferring my 20-year old VHS family movies to DVD's. I have been able to lighten dark recordings, edit out unwanted scenes and make titles with the Pinnacle Studio software. My only complaint is that the tutorial is very limited and I had to learn to use the software by trial & error and by referring to the help menu quite often. Now that I'm familiar with the program, I am very happy with what I am able to do.

Rating: - * Vista users - beware ...
Having installed and used one of these on someone else's computer (a Windows XP box), I figured that it would be a good idea to get one for myself.

According to Pinnacle, the BETA patch (mind you, it's BETA) is supposed to make this device work with Windows Vista.

Well, this experienced computer user has thrown in the towel with this product because getting the software installed on my Vista machine is impossible...setup crashes right before install completion. And getting the remnants of the software is a nightmare.

Although it's possible that Pinnacle will figure out a patch that works on ALL Vista machines, I'm not going to wait. Looks like I'll be returning this for a refund.
