* Transferring video? Buy this item. ...
I read reviews constantly, but my questions never seem to get answered. So I will try to answer the questions that I had about this item.
First, It works really well.
Second, it's easy.
Third, for the price, this is probably the best you'll get.
This item comes with the software to instantly burn DVDs. Plug this into your USB port after installing the software. Click on the Instant DVD Recorder, and use the advanced option. You get the whole menu on your screen, you pick what you want, and bam, your video is now recording right to disk.
Quality? It's fine, you're going from tape to DVD, it will still be tape quality.
Cautions: Make sure your computer/laptop isn't too old. This item NEEDS USB 2.0. Get an PMCIA adapter card if you're still running USB 1.1. Online auctions sell them cheaply.

* Good support from Pinaccle ...
I ran into a problem trying to install an upgrade that can be downloaded from the Pinnacle website. The on-line help was very helpful and after two personal messages I got the installation to work. The product works as advertised and the Studio10 movie editor is very nice.

* Dazzle DVD Recorder performance ...
purchased my Dazzle recorder from Amazon stocked items and found it to be just as advertised. The Dazzle performs as advertised and a very reliable method of recording movies. It is very simple to install and operate. I bought this Dazzle for my daughter and now will order one for myself.

* Compatibility problem ...
It's not working with my Toshiba Tecra M2 laptop -- it keeps wanting an update to my video driver that doesn't exist.

* Dazzle is so-so ...
I bought this in October but didn't get a chance to try it out until after the holidays. The connections were touchy so I had to be careful moving about my desk when it was connected. The instructions that came with it were about nil, so I sort of figured it out myself. Part of the software that came with it could transfer direct to DVD, but I couldn't get that to work. It also came with Studio 10 Pinnacle, so I used that (also figured it out myself), and have been able to transfer video to my hard drive. Boy does it take a lot of space!!!!! I am glad I am able to use it, but I wish there were an easier way for us non-techies who just want to edit and create a couple of DVDs!
