I have three of this Cards and I am very happy with it´s. To get it work, its improtant to use an nonshared PCI Slot. Watch your Mainboardmanual to find out where it is. Use the Driver from Spawn and it works fine. The only hard problem, the DVC II dont works with some Chipsets. I didn´t have problems with Via Chipset´s.

I first bought the DVC2 and installed it on my Sony Vaio RX Desktop running Windows XP pro 256 MB Ram, Weak 32 MB Geforce 2 and Pentium 4 1300 MHz, 20 and 30 GB ata 100 drives running with Intel Application accelerator. With that setup even 10 MB bitrate DVD Settings captured fairly well. Although if you let the capture run past 70 some odd minutes the video and audio started getting messed up. As well as growing Past 8 Gigs. The supplied software sucked and you will be forced to use TMPEG or some other utility for editing out commercials. Even then it doesn't work on a frame accurate level, at least when I tried it. To do the editing on TMPEG you must strip the m2v through the DVCStreamIDfix utility. Their capture software does not allow you to crop out unwanted parts of the picture during captures (a SERIOUS defect for me). If you want to crop out parts of the picture I can't see how re-encoding could be avoided. Do yourself a favor, DON'T use the supplied SVCD template. While getting long captures is a snap with it (even with the svcd reg patch from Spawn's website) the moving parts look unsatisfactory. Just create your own MPEG2 or DVD with your own dimensions and bitrates (remember the upper limits of VCD, SVCD or DVD bitrates (audio included). I think a lot of unhappy people are trying to get the default vcd or svcd format to work when it won't do it or are trying a combo of bitrates that are illegal for that format (ie exceeding SVCD's or VCD's Upper bitrate limit). And a little bit of common sense here, this is a Hardware MPEG2 not MPEG1 so why use it to capture vcd? Cheap DVD writers make that option ludicrous. Using an Nforce2 Motherboard also helps. They have over 20 irqs and thus reducing possibilty of sharing IRQs. Although I can report that sharing an IRQ on Win XP Pro did not have serious problems. If you tried to playback to the tv via the DVC2 and any glitch in the mpeg locked up the card then your computer would not shutdown. The Region Free hackable Phillips DVD623 SVCD/DVD/xDVD/Vcd/CD Player plays MPG files off of Data DVDs and CDs without authoring and they play the DVC2 MPGs well unless the bitrates are set out of Standard bounds which you can set. Of course if you have Video Out on your Video card (i highly recommend it) then all that is moot. I don't recommend playing out on the DVC2 as it locks up very easily doing that (even with the tv Out utility at Spawn's website). For the price now you could buy a PCI HD Receiver and the samples at Dvico I've seen blows Anything.. Anything I have ever seen in hardware, software, etc. analog captures away. Although if you want to Play High definition .tp files with DVxA then you need a very fast video card my Nvidia 5200 with 128 MB can't cut quite cut it without slight chopiness in parts. My 5500 with 256 MB has no problems. Comments posted by Yougoogoly from United States, July 12, 2004: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K? WinXP Vista? NT4? MAC? Linux? - Rated: 8 of 10. |

What a good piece of hardware for the price! Have no problems. Produced hundreds of VCD's SVCD's and DVD's. VCD template is crap on moviestar. Just capture at DV quality and reencode with TPMGenc. Takes hours but. SVCD and DVD no problem. Good video. No synch problems. Comments posted by Nivo Lauric from Other, December 14, 2003: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K? WinXP Vista? NT4? MAC?

Don't use this card for anything else than MPEG2 DVD compliant capture, where it leaves in the dust all sollutions under $700. MPEG2 files captured at 9 MB/s cannot be distinguished from original DV, which is unbeatable. Unfortunately this card is plagued by problems, but look in the forums to find sollutions tailored to your situation (it locks, loses sync, device missing). From the number of people trying to make this card work reliably you'll get an idea what quality it captures that it's worth for them to fight so hard to keep it alive. I also used DVD workshop for capture in realtime, which gives a good quality MPEG2 DVD compliant, ATI Radeon AIW 7500 also captures MPEG2s, but non-compliant (won't allow interlace, you'll find out only watching the result on a TV screen...). Dazzle is for me the winner in quality and speed -IF you are lucky to make it work constantly. Comments posted by pabloantoine from Other, December 05, 2003: Compatibility: Win95? Win98 Win2K?

I have used Dazzle DVCII for two years but was never satisfied with the video results. With direct capture to VCD format the captured video quality was poor. My final product was VCDs from family videos shots on Analog camcorder. I used to first capture in MPEG II(1 min=60MB) format and then convert it to VCD file using TMPGenc. This used to take hell of a time( 1 hr used to take 31/2hrs for encoding) on my Pentium III 800 Mhz PC. Finally, when the Dazzle Card stopped working for some unknow reason, I threw away the card and went for another: Canopus ADVC 50. I also upgraded my PC to Pentium IV 2.4 Ghz with Intel D875PBZ. I now directly capture from my Analog Camcorder to DV format and then convert it to VCD format. 1 hr DV file takes 1hr for encoding. I am really happy with the quality of the VCDs I am making. In case a person is searching for a good analog capture card I shall recommend Canopus ADVC 100 or 50.

It's dead simple. Go to the site listed below. http://spawn.dk/svcd/ Use the Spawn driver set (Win2K or XP) and then dowload the Bugsy capture utility. No synch problems huge captures low bit rates and suberb picture quality (no-macrovision) Forget using moviestar unless your desperate but try a better package such as Ulead Video Studio 7 (no recompression) and then use a DVD creator.

Produces nice captures via Satellite TV. Nice captures via VHS tape except for audio sync problem. To fix audio sync problem just edit registry as follows (This will force a lock on sync, trust me it works!) Open registry Search for SAA7114 Expand SAA7114 and look under AudioClockGeneration Here you will find a reg key named reg3a with the value 9 - open that and change the value to 1 Too bad DVDit sucks or I'd a given it a 10, I use TmpGenc Author for producing the DVD structure.

Well,theres nothing much of a good to say here. Im sorry but this card simply sux butt. I bought it for over 200bux at BestBuy and it locked up after 30min capture. Image is NOT impressive whatsoever using for exmpl Moviestar and Bugsy soft. Driver only for dazzle soft, Vdub - big crash, I havent found WDM driver for it. Too many cables if u use longer cables S-video image has disturbances and EM interferences. I could not eliminate it trying everything whats possible. Card is hot like a hell - maybe needs a radiator or what. I think its a bad design product with crappy soft deceiving consumers big time. Not recommend if u want to sleep well.

Hi, I have 4 DVC IIs and I love them. I have made aprox 200 DVD Movies with them. I have 2 of them in 2 computers in 2 different locations and keep 2 for furure backups. I use cheap 9.4 GB double sided DVD-Rs called Prime Disc made by Ritek. They burn at 2X on nero using DVD Fast Copy with NO Problems. My Dazzle software is V4.24 and have none of the freezing problems stated in other peoples ratings while editing. I just can't find a problem with it. It does everything it says it will. I also have a DCS-200 (What a 100% piece of CRAP)that is why I went back to the DVC II and got 4 for the feture while I could still get them. (I Make a lot of movies) Yopu got to have a hobby ! The only thing that would make it better is for it to be a Real Time capture card that would make the MPEG II DVD Complyant so not to have to render the movie before burning. This would save a lot of time. I copy the DVDs in 45MB per Minute mode (1:23 max time per side) and I get perfect quality every time. I put half of the movie on each side of the disc. I use cheap media but I have good equipment so maybe that is why I don't have any problems with the DVC II. Self Built Computer: ASUS MB P4T/533 with built on Raid, Intel 2.533 CPU, 512 MB 1066 RDRAM, ASUS GeForce 4 Video Card W/128 MB of DDR on board, Creative Audigy Platinum Sound Card, Creative 5.1 Speakers, 2 Western Digital 7200 RPM 80GB HDs on RAID 0 for total of 160 GBs storage. Pioneer 105 DVD R/W Region Free Hacked firmware flash. Pioneer 116/2 DVD-ROM, OS is Win 98 SE. Yes I still use Win 98 SE. I just don't like the extra BS on XP. All the extra folders of the same thing and it is SLOWER in rendering a movie before burning. (Very Slow, as long to render as to watch or download the movie). XP is also very much a memory hog. I will have to go there though or use Win 2000 if I want to use some of the new programs like DVDXCopy (4GB Copy limit). OK enough rambeling on. I give it a 10 not because it is the best in the world but because it is priced right and it does exactly what it says it will do. BUY IT !

This card gives fantastic mpeg2 captures, the other posts are true about how it doesn't matter what bitrate you choose, this card captures flawlessly no matter how slow your processor is. I bought this card to rip VHS to DVD and this is exactly the solution I was looking for. I will say, that if you plan on using the computer to view the captures, a de-interlacing filter might be necessary. Otherwise, this card is perfect for outputting video back to the tv either with the video and audio outs, or with the captures burned to dvd or svcd's. The only reason I haven't given it a 10 is because the software seems a bit proprietary, although it has every feature (capturing wise) I wanted including the enable/disable of VBR.

Hi ! I am saling Dzzle DVC II form Last more than 1 & half year there is no problem in A/V sync.for MPEG2 but in some casset there is A/V sync. prblem in MPEG1 ok. Try out this method for MPEG1 . In movie star soft. under vcd option select Capture audio sapratly captur your MPEG1 file . Now open movie star video editer drop your video & Audio file select produce option vith "VCD" now try out on your VCD player.

This encoder kicks serious ass! I bought this system to make backup copies of my Star Wars laserdisc collection, which includes the original P/S and LBX and the special edition/remake P/S and letterbox. That's 20+ discs needing the love that only MPEG can provide. Flawless. It does VCD/SVCD/XVCD/XSVCD, and then makes perfect toast. It does DVD @ 10Mb while walking the dog. In fact, it does everything that it should without any of the problems I've seen on this forum. And, it does it while sharing the same IRQ that my AGP card uses while getting some serious fan output from the aforementioned AGP card mounted directly above it.

Many people are saying good about Dazzle card. This is my third card. I have lots of problems. After capturing in Vedio CD template and burning it on a CD, the clip does not work in most of the players. only audio and no vedio. To make it to work, I need to encode it using xing mpeg encoder. I wonder why I should do so, because, Dazzle hardware is supposed to be a realtime encoder. Well, till now no answers from dazzle people also.

Bought this card as a replacement for a combined Video Graphics/Capture card (Siluro GF 4 MX Pro also reviewed here), which would not play ball with my motherboard. Having read the reviews here and elsewhere I was not expecting much, but for 99 GBP (form my local PC World) I thought it had to be worth a try. Before even opening the box I read through and downloaded all the relevant files from the excellent site http://www.spawns.dk/svcd/main.html. I followed the instructions on website and used the hacked drivers and to my surprise it worked first time, th initial capture troubleshooting window is a nice touch and has some useful remedies. I was not able to secure a dedicated IRQ for the card due to my uncooperative motherboard but this does not seem to matter. I have had no problems capturing stuff from my old Philips VCR (a 10 year old VR703) via SCART, using both my own old VHS tapes and pre-recorded. I have left it to capture 3 hour tapes without any problem and then coneverted them to SVCD via VCDEasy. The MoviStar software (even with the patches to 4.24) is not perfect and did lock up once when using the editor (the PC/OS was OK). I have used it to succesfuly cut my captures down to size and assemble them into my preferred order, but it is by no means a professional product. One plus point is the black box housing all the Video sockets that connects to the PCI card via a single high demsity cable, enables you to see and change cables over easily (just wish it had a SCART socket). My system is a Athlon XP 1700+, with 256 MB RAM and a 20 MB Ultra SCSI HDD dedicated to Video Capture, I am running XP Home. If your needs are simple you could probably do a lot worse than the DVC-II, I know I have. Comments posted by black_rod from Other, September 01, 2002: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K?

I got this card to replace a WinTV PVR PCI. I couldn't get that card to capture mpeg2 consistently with audio in sync. I was initially worried about compatibility with my AMD KG7 based system but it worked from start. My satbox captures are perfactly audio synced, even the longer ones ( > 1 GB). The provided moviestar is only usable for capture, i use TmpEnc to trim the mpg2 files and DVD Movie Factory/ Nero to produce DVD's. If this card came with better software , i would have given it a 10. Comments posted by elpedro from Other, August 26, 2002: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K? WinXP Vista? NT4? MAC?

Had major problem on install, not recognising the card. The trick is in finding a PCI slot that doesnt IRQ share in your PC. Also, I had a 230watt PSU and it could drive my PC and the DAzzle. Upgraded to a 400Watt and all is fine. This is my first capture card, glad I bought it. Check out http://www.spawns.dk/svcd/ a good source of help.

I've had this card for a couple of months and captured extensively with no audio synch problems or otherwise. You might find this laughable but my capturing system is: eMachines 500is - 500 mhz Celeron - 160 mb PC100 RAM - 8 mb AGP 2 on board video - 40 gb udma HD that writes 7.1 mb/sec sustained - Win98 SE OEM - Windows Media Player 6.4 - DirectX 8.1 Things I don't run on this system: - Windows Media Player 7 - Ulead DVD Movie Factory, 'cause it seriosly alters the OS media files - any Codecs besides the NIMO Codec Pack with decoder install option, which I uninstall without reboot before capturing The machine shipped with 32 mb of RAM and a 20 gig HD for $400 with a $75 mail-in rebate. I added 128 mb RAM, the 40 gig second HD, the Dazzle card and a beefy cpu fan that blows directly on the card to keep it cool. Had some initial problems getting the card working properly. A bunch of progs installed, including Ulead DVD Movie Factory and several renegade codecs. Restored the OS from the OEM CD and it came online. The setup/diagnostic test fails unless skipped, but the card captures MPEG2 fine and without audio synch problems. The MPEG1 capture is blocky and generally disgusting. Also had problems with audio dropouts after 14 mins into a video sequence on a burned VCD, although it played back OK in Windows Media Player from the hard drive. Tried Ulead DVD Movie Factory, Nero, and VCD Easy with same result. Re-encoded with TMPEG and it was fine. I'll capture MPEG2 at highest bitrate possible and definitely disable the view while encoding. At 640x480, 10 megs/sec I hit the 4,095 mb Win 98 file limit at about 50 mins. Selecting VBR cuts the actual capture file size in half with no noticeable image loss, but the Dazzle software doesn't make allowances for this and limits the capture to 50 mins. A VCD encoding run through TMPEG yields pretty nice results, although I've seen better VCD files through TMPEG from uncompressed or high rate MJPEG sources. Any MPEG2 artifacts are amplified when re-encoding. The Nimo Codec Pack enables full MPEG2 Audio/Video on the OS (Windows Media Player) support. Simple editing is done in VCD format with Ifilm Edit, which works natively in VCD and doesn't re-render. Decent MPEG2 quality. It holds up well to my Panasonic DV901 megapixel camcorder source. The card seemed to drop serious frames when capturing from old home-recorded video tapes playing off a really crappy VHS VCR. I bumped the video to my camcorder first and it captured fine. I just ordered a Pioneer A104 DVD burner and will be testing the MPEG2 straight to DVD without running throught TMPEG. I'll get back to you with the results. xkotto Comments posted by xkotto from Other, July 28, 2002: Compatibility: Win95? Win98 Win2K? WinXP? Vista? NT4? MAC? Linux? - Rated: 9 of 10. |

A tad on the quirky said on the install. Of course, this has been sad before: MovieStar is only good to use to capture. Unfortunately, WinXP Pro sets most of my devices to share IRQ 3. This card usually does NOT like that. A quick call to Tech Support and they emailed me a link to download MovieStar 4.25. That did the trick. Up and running. Cap'd a really nice trailer of SW: Ep 1. Flawless looking on the TV, a tad blocky on the PC, but livable. Glad I spent the money to get the card. Comments posted by SodGAwd from Other, July 24, 2002: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K?

When I first got this card, I would have rated it a 8.0. Install was a bit tough (playing "Pick the right PCI slot" game is quite annoying. If you are looking to rip to your PC, this would be a good item to buy. I never do editting so I can't speak on how much it sucks/rules for that. My major problem with this DVC2 is the quality of manufacturing. I had my first one for about six months, then one day, the power went out in a bad storm. It never worked again, it would always give the error "A device attached to the system is not functioning". After literally months of trying to get it to work with the tech support people I finally got an RMA. So my second DVC2 came and it worked great for about three months and then one day my girlfriend popped the circuit the computer was on while blowdrying her hair. Same story "A device attached to the system is not functioning". So a bit quicker on the RMA side of things, given my previous experience I knew what to say etc.. After a few weeks, my third DVC2 was here (*second replacement part*). This time I just powered down the PC (not with shutdown) cause windows 98 had hardlocked while I was ripping a movie. The DVC2 never worked again and I took it out of my computer and am not bothering to get another one. So right now you are probably saying "Jeez buddy buy a friggin surge protector!". Ever since day one the computer was on a $50 protector, its not a battery backup but its better than nothing and a decent model. The DVC2 hunk of garbage, I'm tired of paying shipping for replacement product. If you want to roll your dice on the whole power outtage situation go ahead, but you are probably better off buying something that can handle sudden loss of power. Between my roomate , my girlfriend and myself we have like 10 computers in this house. Not ONE of our computers has ever had hardware fail due to power loss (some are on WAY more shitty surge protectors too). Comments posted by Zach from Other, July 22, 2002: Compatibility: Win95?
