Review on ๐Ÿ’ฟ Pinnacle Dazzle DVD Recorder HD: High-Definition Video Capture & Editing Device for PC by Emmanuel Nguyen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's OK to transfer VHS to DVD. Not playing. The image quality remains the same.

This product is great for converting old VHS tapes to digital, but don't expect good digital quality even on HD settings. To be fair, the "newer" Dazzle video capture devices are just redistributed hardware and software since they first came out. The claims on the packaging and descriptions of this product are very untrue. This does not improve the quality of a recorded video. In case anyone is wondering if this unit is capable of capturing retro video games with A/V or S-Video; It is not. Better settings don't improve video quality in the slightest, and frame drops are an issue. The software has some very nice features for transitioning between scenes, sounds/effects and DVD menus. However, the software was released in 2013. I gave this product 3 stars because it allowed me to transfer my VHS tapes to DVD and while the picture quality remains the same it's nice to have it on media that isn't 30 years old. Besides that. I feel the product is not worth the advertised price ($40 + shipping). $25 at best.

Pros
  • Enjoy
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
