With Dazzle now owned by Pinnacle, only the software updates for MovieStar v4.24 are available from Pinnacle. Useless for those without v4.x... Prior to Dazzle being being bought out, they released the full MovieStar v4.25 version for WinXP. This is still available from their Thai distributor here: http://www.byte-brain.co.th/Download/DVC%20USB.html Comments posted by steen from Australia, September 26, 2005: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K? WinXP Vista? NT4? MAC? Linux? - Rated: No rating. |

Dazzle DVC-USB Had this for a few years but it was locked away for future use. Yes I know it's out of date but I have some other uses for it. On a P3-700mhz, 64ram, 12gn HDD, Win98SE with usb-1 notebook. -------- Added Directx8 and 8.1 capture. Set DMA for all HDD's. Downloaded and installed MovieStar 4.22,patched 4.23 and 4.24-(also a patch for Win-XP). Setting: 352-288 1800cbr 48hz-224. Recoreded 35min TV show with all sync OK. File size 690mb. Used WInDVDCreator to edit out the adds and save "EP" template with same setting as recoreded 352-288 1800cbr 48hz-224. File size 621mb. Plays with all sync OK. On a P4-3.2 512ram, 250sata HDD WinXp-Pro -------- Installed MovieStar 4.22, patched 4.23 and 4.24-(patch for Win-XP). Setting: 352-288 1800cbr 48hz-224. Recoreded 20min TV show with all sync OK. Used WInDVDCreator2 to edit out the adds as before. Plays with all sync OK. Using Ulead DVD MovieFactory created DVD files = all sync OK. Using WinXP should get files larger than 2gb and save longer recordings as required. Setting: 352-288 1800cbr 48hz-224 Using this setting, Ulead DVD MovieFactory can take it and create low quality DVD with 4hr to 6hr of watching. In Win98Se, this will keep within the 2gb file limit and allow 1.5hr of recording per file. Qality is a bit grainy to other capture devices, but watchable by far to any VCD capture (with same unit). Other uses ---------- Home Secuity: Can add a camera on house and record to PC. Record clips that don't have to be DVD quality but enough to watch on a TV similar to VHS tape.

This is a discontinued USB 1.1 MPEG capture device that captures 29.97fps at a maximum 352x240 resolution and up to a video bitrate of 3000kbps. Included are various templates for Movie Quality, Web Quality, VideoCD (1150kbps / 224kbps 44.1kHz) and user customized settings. The unit also ships with the Driver/App CD that contains MovieStar 4.2x and MyDVD. A CD-R will hold 80 minutes of video/audio at standard VCD format and quality. The DVC drivers are proprietary and video capture requires the use of the supplied MovieStar 4.x software software which includes some basic timeline editing and scene transitions. The application will also capture audio (WAV and MP3) and photos (BMP and JPG) and output the captured video clips to an external device like a VCR. The overall quality is good for a real-time MPEG encoder; but you will see some compression artifacts at the lower bitrates (VCD or lower). For archival quality, I capture at the highest bitrate and re-encode to VCD spec using the TMPGEnc software MPEG encoder but excellent MPEG quality. The Dazzle DVC unit has input/output connections for S-VIDEO, Composite and Audio (mic and left/right stereo). Dazzle has since been bought by Pinnacle and the Dazzle DVC-USB product was discontinued. I gave it a score of 6 because of the limited 352x240 resolution, lack of support from newer Pinnacle Studio software and proprietary software/drivers. However, I did write a basic capture application that automate capture with the use of Windows Scheduler or the NT "AT" command using command parameters.
