I've just got Dazzle Digital Video Creator 150 Hi-speed. It's
working fine and importing audio/video from old vhs tapes. I am used to
using Windows Movie Maker II to edit the video. I can't get it to capture
in WMM. Is there a reason?
It's not in my control panel and doesn't seem to be recognized by puter.
But, like I said, it's working fine....with Pinnacle 8.
WMM is just easier interface than P8.
XP pro, sp1
TIA
Mark

check out the section on dazzle at www.papajohn.org to see if there is
anything there to help you.

regclean, etc. STILL when I plug it in, it's not recognized. LIke I said
before, I can make it work in PInnacle 8.0 but WMM is sooooo much easier and
I"m used to it. Besides, it's become personal to get it recognized by xp.

ANY help appreciated.
Mark

Does it have a firewire connection? If so MM would recognise this, it's the
usb that is causing you problems with MM.

True true, I forgot that. No it doesn't. It's doin an ok job. This is my
first vhs to dvd endeavour. I have dvi'd tape to dvd with no prob. The
resolution on this is not as good, but then again, it's not digital. I did
find that I can capture with it and THEN edit the mpeg with WMM. Actually
the capture of the Pinnacle is pretty good, cause you can set a time limit.
and then it stops capturing when that timer stops. That way you don't have
to look at it all.
Any other advice on this appreciated. I dont' understand some of the movie
formats mpeg1, mpeg1, etc.
Here is a link to what I have. Do you have suggestions for another, maybe
better one? What kind do you use?
http://www.pinnaclesys.com/menusuppo...roduct_id=1426
This one is ok, just want to make ONE good purchase. I can return this one
in 14 days if needed.
TIA
Mark

Sorry, one more question: Is there a standard amount of mgbs, or gbs used
for a time allotment? Let say I have a 2.5 hour vhs tape. This is taking
nearly 7 GB. If I just drag/drop them over there to burn, It will not fit
on one dvd. I can split it. and put on another, but is this a normal
amount?
TIA

I would seriously have a look at the canopus or miglia units, see reviews of
both from this page
www.simplydv.com
They will take an analogue source and input it via firewire, so it's digital
going in. This will result in far better quality, but the downside is far
bigger files. Your assunptions are correct, but dv-avi files will be 13gb
per hour. You then need a dvd authoring app to make your dvd from the avi
file. This will make the mpeg2 file required for the dvd disc.
Personally I use a canopus storm 2 pci card which gives me real time editing
with premiere as well as all the inputs.
