Major problem with this product: the video is not digital quality because you are using AV cables connected to USB and not DV cable. Hence, if you play it anywhere other than in a small window on a computer screen or YouTube, you're going to get horrible results - like on a DVD player. Of course, if you're an amateur you might not realize that's a problem until after you get it home and try it out. Try putting this junk on your TV, and you'll see some of the worst video ever. The software that comes with the Dazzle is likewise total junk, and useless unless you want to pay extra for all the add-ons (and that means once you open it, you can't return it). Windows comes with Movie Maker and there are others available, so why you would need a commercial product that does the same thing out of the box is beyond me.
What's great about it: Idiot proof to set up, but not much else
What's not so great: Horrid video, featureless software
