It doesn't work.......2003-03-28
This review is for Dazzle DV-Editor DM-6000.
This product does not work. I could not capture video from my Sony DCR-TRV20 mini DV camcorder using this product.
On its outer package it says "capture video from any digital camcorder". There is even a picture of Sony camcorder on the package (of cause they removed the brand name). I checked Dazzle's web site and found an article saying that there is compatibility problem when using Sony camcorders. I sent them an email asking if this product really works on Sony camcorders. They replied that if the problem is posted on their web site, it means the problem has not been solved. What a joke.
For Gamers With Websites.......2001-01-10
This package is great for video game players who want screenshots/ movies/ audio for web sites. The screengrab feature is easy to use, and the resolution can easily be adjusted. The audio encoding is also noteworthy, as it can record in several popular formats, including Real Audio. The stand out, however, is the MPG encoding, which is relatively easy to use. Grabbing video from camcorders/ game systems is great, and the encoder puts them at a decent size while maintaining good image quality.
Overall, it's a good purchase, but for a special brand of consumer. Pick it up if you don't want to shell out the cash for a capture card (This review written based on "last year's model", the Parallel Port version).

Customer Reviews:
Excellent product! I was looking for something like this for YEARS!.......2005-07-13
Ever since DVD came out, and i realized how BULKY and SPACE Consuming my VHS tapes were, as well as it would take a LOT of fast forwarding to find the "part" that i wanted to see. Firstly I recommend getting Windows Movie Maker in addition to this product. Secondly
This product is the BEST computer software/hardawre product! you can LITERALLY upload VHS files to your computer and then put them to DVD if you want, or you can just save them as an AVI or an WMW. this product will make your closet, movie shelf, etc look SO MUCH smaller and cleaner, and you can transfer your IMPORTANT VHS files to your computer so you can throw out your old bulky vhs tapes.
With windows movie maker, you can edit, and only save the footage that you like. The important part about windows movie maker, is that the files you get from VHS, from this product is that it converts the AVI into a WMV, making it a MUCH smaller file, thus making more space on your computer. After you do that, then you can delete the huge avi file this product gives you.
Other people here on amazon.com stated they had to "alter" or "cut" off a part of the product or plug. I have used this product and I have NEVER EVER had to cut off or ALTER any plugs, outlets, or inlets or anything else. All I had to do was get a 3 part 2 way cord (white yellow and red going in the VCR, and another white, yellow red going in the products outlet through a USB port.
And if you have NERO, you can make a DVD out of the files you put on your computer. and you can put in ONLY THE FILES YOU WANT, you don't have to put all of it. and then you can fast forward to your favorite scene or episode or whatever.
if you are looking for a product that lets you convert VHS to computr file, then THIS is the product for you. frankkly, its the ONLY product if you want to convert VHS to DVD.
Easy to install. It only took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to convert the files but after the 10 mins, i got the hang of it and can do it with ease.
Con.. the ONLY CON in this product is that you can NOT retreive footage from DVD. you can ONLY retrieve it from VHS. but then again, the only DVD player i have is my playstation 2, so if you have a regular dvd player, maybe that would work.
no customer support.......2004-08-25
I wasn't too disappointed at first. I had some problems with the video feed being choppy, but I think that may have been a processor problem. It comes with a DVD which contains additional content which you can access only after you register (send them your personal information). If you don't have a DVD drive, then you can order the content on CDs. When the URL for ordering the CDs turned out to be dead, I tried to contact customer support. Alas, you can't email them and can't call them on the phone. If your question isn't in their Q&A list, then don't expect and answer. This product is going back to the store.
no support.......2004-03-21
Ok, so how are you supposed to enter a 10digit SN when the one that they provide for you has 11?
Couldn't install the software so couldn't use the product at all. Multiple posts on the Pinnacle user forum on the company's website also went unanswered with this same problem. Bye Bye, back to the store.
If you're not going to let me install your product and you're not going to help me to figure out how to get around the problem you've created then you clearly shouldn't be in business.
Absolutely Painful.......2004-01-05
The unit itself is poorly built due to the fact that you must force the rca cables into it, that should've been the first clue. The software installed fine (Pinnacle version 8.0 initially). They capture quality is extremely choppy, this is especially true if you are filming any type of racing. The max resolution that it can capture and then give you a final product in is not even close to what you initially started with on either VCR or an analog camcorder. That being the case, what in the hell is the point of this product ?
With a combination of poor resolution and what appears to be dropped frames(although during capture, I had zero dropped frames it says) this product is one big disappointment.
Works well -- do the research first........2003-12-13
Unlike copying VHS tapes to VHS tape; DVD recording is a far more complex enterprise. I recently bought a DVD recorder to transfer my VHS tapes to DVD (a more stable format). After doing some research on DVD ripping, SVCDs, DVD-R, and MPEG vs. AVI formats, I purchased the Dazzle device and bundled software.
Bottom line: Its not perfect but it does a very good job if you are willing to spend some time messing with it.
First off, the software installed without any problems, as did the USB based hardware. I did have a problem with the recessed audio plugs. I had to shave off some of the rubber casing from my audio av plugs so that they would fit into the dazzle device properly. I recommend getting an adapter plug so you can simply use your computer's sound card (not that the sound quality will be any better) and using the S-Video plug on the dazzle for the picture signal.
I used the software to burn a DVD, using the other formats (like SVCD) did not interest me since the finished products would only be viewable on my PC. What good would that do?
The bundled software allows you to save the whole process in a project file. You can then go back and create a menu and chapters or have the program do it automatically, which I think is really cool. You do need a large hard drive (80 Gig or better), a decent DVD recorder (I have a Sony DVD-RW/R+ drive) and a relatively fast PC (2 GHz or better with at least 256MB of physical memory) to make all of this work properly.
How do the resulting DVDs look? Pretty good. The real work involves tweaking the recording settings, which adjusts how much can be saved on a single DVD. A high quality DVD picture will limit you to about 1 hour of recording time on a DVD. I used the medium setting so I can store almost two hours of film on one DVD. The picture was a bit pixilated in spots but the DVD played fine on my stand-alone DVD player.
The whole process produced very acceptable results and I did not have to mess with compression ratios and ripping procedures. I think all the critics of this system were looking for a "fire-and-forget" type of package; dazzle is not it. It takes some work but Dazzle is the most effective DVD authoring system for the price.

Product Description
Kit includes: 1) Cobra Automatic Ring Light Macro Flash; 2) Sony Alpha / Minolta Maxxum Hot Shoe Flash Adapter; 3) Multi-Voltage Rapid Charger with 4 NiMH Batteries ♦
The Cobra Automatic Ring Light Macro Flash is the convenient and creative lighting solution for medical, dental, nature and small subject photography at short working distances where built-in and conventional flash units are hard to use. Utilizing a circular tube as its light source for just the right amount of illumination, in certain situations, it might even be the only way possible to light your subject. Specifically designed to securely mount to the filter ring of your macro lens and to provide even, shadow free light, it will also freeze action so that a frisky beetle or windblown blossom can be photographed as if it were frozen in time. It can also be used off of the lens and aimed, for creative lighting control. Unlike other ring lights that require a bulky and heavy power supply to be mounted to your camera's hot shoe, the Macro Flash is self contained and economically and efficiently powered by only two AA size alkaline, NiCad or NiMH batteries. You don't even have to remember to turn the flash off as "Auto-Off" circuitry is built-in to prolong battery life. ♦
This flash adapter is specially designed to connect all standard shoe flashes to the proprietary Sony Alpha / Minolta Maxxum hot shoes. This will allow you to accept any flash or accessory having a standard shoe. This adapter is fully compatible to work with all Sony Alpha & Konica Minolta Maxxum SLR Cameras. It also provides a standard PC connection similar to the more expensive Sony FAST1AM Sony Sync Terminal Adapter and Konica Minolta Maxxum FS-1100 PLUS. With this adapter, you can expand your choice of flashes & accessories for your Sony Alpha / Minolta cameras. ♦
This kit includes 4 ultra high capacity 2700mAh Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries and a multi-voltage rapid charger.
