Review on πŸŽ₯ Dazzle DVD Recorder HD V14.0 (Old Version): Capture and Preserve Precious Memories in High Definition by Brian Cooper

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent product but possibly overpriced

So after it was recommended to me I bought a Dazzle to record game footage from my XBOX 360 to my computer. Thing is, while it works and does its job, there were serious latency issues that I had to deal with to get recordings at a decent level. Recording was often spasmodic, with many frames and audio and video out of sync. It's not because of my computer specs, I have an Intel Core i7, quite a powerful processor, I can work with high quality 3D modeling and animation software. So the problem must be related to the Pinnacle Dazzle software and the Dazzle device itself. As far as I could get around it reduced the quality quite a bit. Dazzle also comes with very outdated software. Windows 7 64-bit couldn't even recognize the installation DVD, so I had to insert it into another Vista computer and copy the contents of the DVD directly to the Win7 computer. It works and records, but for the price, I find it overpriced for what you actually get.

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Long wait
