Great Capture card

This Capture card is awesome, Its perfect for anyone who wants a good affordable card. It has great quality, so if you want to convert to DVD, making machinima's, so you wont have to worry about blotchie, blurry videos. I have not had any problems with the software lagging my computer, It may depend on what you have, how old it is, and what its primarily used for.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, good quality.
What's not so great: nothing I have noticed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

DVC100 Capturing unit...

The video quality is great regardless of how you capture. Having said that, I have to say that if you capture using the DVD/MPEG setting, expect some "skipping" in the playback. It won't show any dropped frames on the software but you'll get it nevertheless.
I believe the encoding process during capture stalls it just enough to create skips but not enough to drop frames.
If you capture using the AVI you will get seamless and beautifull quality. But make sure you have a rather large hard drive to capture full length movies as this will run in to the 10's of gigabytes. A simple 8:46 minutes capture puts it at 1.87 gigabytes.. wow! Then you still have to render it to MPEG to get it to DVD. Expect an overnighter there.
I will problaby be returning this one. I have a DVC150a and wanted something a little more compatible with Studio. It has it's headaches but still at least captures MPEG at seamless beatuful quality [once I get the thing to cooperate with me].
What's great about it: Good video quality. Very easy to setup and use.
What's not so great: drops frames/skips playback if capturing using MPEG setting
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Using the Dazzle hardware and the Pinnacle software was easy even for a low-tech person like me. Installation is quick and within minutes I was able to use the Instant DVD program to burn a DVD of my sister-in-law's wedding. The quality of the DVD is excellent. Definitely a good buy and I haven't even begun to use the Pinnacle video editing software yet.
What's great about it: Easy Installation
What's not so great: None

I got this software to pair it up with m powerful new dual core computer (E8500 @3.16Ghz) but it fell short on my expectations. The installation was a breeze and only took a few minutes. At once I notice that the performance was a little off hoping that it would fix itself with new drivers, upadates, things like that. I was wrong. It works fine but still could have better. Overall, choppy performance but if you are lucky and get a good copy you'll like it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The CD installed the program ok, but that was the last thing it did right. There are NO directions in the box, and the tutorial on the CD only shows you how to connect the red to the red, etc. It doesn't capture imported movies most of the time. When I called tech support, they told me to ONLY use the advanced mode (don't know why) and then when it worked (once) it captured the video, but on a small screen. When you enlarge the picture to full screen, the picture quality decreases and it looks blurry. BY THE WAY, after your first call to tech support, your later calls will be charged to you. Did I mention, it doesn't come with directions to begin with? If a product doesn't work, I'd like to know if its me, or how to troubleshoot when its the program having glitches. With no directions, I still can't figure out what's wrong. And, now it doesn't capture, and I'm not willing to pay for tech support for a product that doesn't work 2 days after I bought it.
What's great about it: The Install CD wasn't cracked
What's not so great: Just about everything else
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
