Type of review

Product doesn't work as promised. It doesn't seem to be compatible with my Windows 10 operating system. I can shoot movies, but I can't edit unwanted clips, create scenes, or make other changes to movies. I have called Corel at least 4 times in the last 24 hours; They either hang up or say they can't help me. Rather, I should expect a call within "the next 2 hours". If it's not actually compatible with Windows 10, it should have been clearly stated when purchasing it from the Revain website.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Upgradable

Didn't work for me

I used to have an older version of the Dazzel device. It's in my garage somewhere and I needed to convert the 8mm video now. That's why I order this Dazzel recorder. I am using the Windows 10 Pro operating system. When I plug a device into my USB port, it sets up a driver for it. When the computer finished installing the driver, I use explorer to see if it was there, no. Then I try to install the software, it won't let me, keeps saying I never use Direct X, my OS is Direct X version 12. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Robust surface
Cons
  • No performance

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 notโ€ฆ

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

Product not compatible with Windows 10

DO NOT BUY if you want Windows 10 compatibility Box and DVD include Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 and WIndows 8.x ONLY. If you try to use this on Windows 10 you will not be able to install the required Microsoft .net 4.0 software. I looked at the release date of .net 4.0 and it came out in 2010. I also looked at Windows 10 and it was released in July 2015. So the installation fails with a few error messages and then the installer uninstalls itself and takes you to the Windows 10 desktop. Youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • Large and bulky

I bought this product to replace my original (red) Dazzle DVC100 Rev 1.1 which no longer has Dazzle Studio v11.1.2 installed on Windows 10. I have a fully patched x64 version of Windows 10 and a fairly new Lenovo laptop, so I was looking forward to the x64 version of Pinnacle Studio. (1) The version shipped was v23 (one year old) and the system asked me to pay $80 to upgrade to v24. (2) Dazzle Studio v23 UI is terrible, lacking expected video editing controls, options or any kind of UI logicโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for elderly

I would not recommend this product

After spending a few days learning how to digitize analog mini DV tapes with a camcorder, I found this product on YouTube and decided to buy it to to turn a treasure trove of memories into a box of enclosed by Miniband DV. I installed the app on my Windows 10 PC from the installation CD that came with it. After making the connections as per the Getting Started guide, I was pleased to see the video from the camcorder in Playback mode in the Dazzle application window on the PC. I walked away from

Pros
  • Electronics
