A neat "Toy", but don't expect professional results...

by pepper99 , Mar 19 '02
Pros: Easy to use USB Hookup, inexpensive.
Cons: Mediocre video capture quality, no manual, initial software problems.
UPDATE - June 29, 2002. After upgrading my system to Windows XP several weeks ago, my Dazzle had failed to work in any respect. Upgraded drivers that are supposed to support XP were installed, but attempting to capture video (or even audio alone) ...

Low cost video capture but with significant limitations

by avaloncourt , Mar 17 '02
Pros: Nice capture for general internet or multimedia presentation use.
Cons: NOT usable at all for output to video tape or VideoCD
The Dazzle Multimedia Digital Video Creator 80 USB is a very low cost way to get video into your computer. Getting it back out is another story. The DVC 80 consists of a USB connection box which allows for input connections from typical analog video...

If stills captures are your primary thing, get the cheaper model 50

by andre98 , Jan 17 '02
Pros: It performs well in capturing stills.
Cons: User manual is too simplistic. Initial video clip capture quality is suspect.
I only bought the Dazzle's USB version, because I have a phobia about opening up my PC to self-install cards. Every time I have tried it with other PCs, I've have had problems. Something isn't being configured right, or ports conflict.... in the end, I...

Backup your video tapes to CD

by snoopy221 , Feb 21 '02
Pros: Product works pretty well and movie quality is pretty decent
Cons: No manual
CompUSA was selling this for $69 minus a $20 instant rebate bringing this product to $49. However they were out of stock and got it at Circuit City. And they price matched it too.

I have some old video tapes that I've figure will wear out...

Disgraceful product and extremely rude support

by enaz , Nov 30 '02
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Doesn't work, terrible tech support, pathetic manual
I have long been looking for a easy to use USB device that would allow me to upload my home videos onto computer. This product seemed just right at $60. Well as the old saying goes you get what you pay for...except in this case I payed for it and got...

Dazed

by spradwife , Feb 22 '03
Pros: Low Cost
Cons: Lots of bugs. Long distance Tech-support.
My first bit of advice is that you check on the stores return policy before purchasing. I'm not trying to be 'mean' it's just that my local Best Buy considers this to be 'software' and they do not accept returns on opened software. Now let me explain...

Not very Dazzling (sorry 'bout that)

by tvaldes , Dec 10 '01
Pros: Connects your analog camcorder to your PC via USB port
Cons: Doesn't work as advertised.. Drops to many frames.
I was strolling through CompUSA and found this product. It was exactly what I needed. My desktop PC was too slow for video capture but my laptop should surely handle it.
The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 5000e P-III 650 with 256 megs RAM and that was...

Don't cross the Bridge til you've Created.

by dd3james , Dec 26 '01
Pros: Easy set-up. Works with Premiere. Great capturing device for turning analog into digital.
Cons: None, so far.
This is more an opinion about the Dazzle DV-Bridge than it is for the DV Creator.
The Creator has fulfilled it's purpose. I bought it and have used it as a tool of importing my home videos onto the computer to create transitions, and add music,...

Big Disapointment

by xrisj , Aug 28 '03
Pros: In-expensive, USB, Small Form Factor
Cons: Unstable, Terrible Support, Audio error prone.
I purchased the Dazzle Digital Video Creator 80 to capture video from my VCR and camcorder in hopes of creating some web content and videos that I could email to friends and family. The cost and promise of the DVC80 seemed alluring.

I've not...

DVC 80

by estouch , Jan 02 '03
Pros: Alowes you to capture Video, Great for bigenners
Cons: Software is a little buggy
The Dazzle Digital Video Creator 80, is not bad. I think it is great for biginners. The one down side it that the software for it is a little buggy. However with a little tweaking you can get pretty good video quilty out of this little box. i would say...

It's going back...

by mscott , Jan 01 '03
Pros: Cheap price (compared), fairly easy install.
Cons: Very poor capture quality, slow. No manual.
This appeared to be the perfect device to enter the world of video capture, editing and producing. It has left me very disappointed. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I at least expected VHS quality video. The video captured was very pixelated...

Nice little gadget

by alfredo1107 , Apr 29 '02
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use, mpg and avi capture, compatible with video capture software
Cons: USB port ignores the device sometimes. I had to plug and unplug it several times.
I started to be interested on digital video after hearing of the VCD format (Video CDs) . After spending some time reading about all the cool projects one could do, I finally decided to get my very own digital video capture device (50.00 on sale). ...

Cheap but limited

by hipraveen , Dec 29 '02
Pros: Easy and cheap
Cons: Limited with 320x480 size
Hi,
I bought this device in the boxing day sale at a very good price and I was very happy to see the output from my old PAL camera as it has the possibility to capture NTSC as well as PAL.

I made my first VCD very fast but was...

Invest your money in another company with support.

by tamm_223 , Aug 05 '03
Pros: Low price
Cons: Lack of service / tech support!
I, like you may have read in another post, waited for OVER AN HOUR on my dime and finally gave up. ...
