i think ive done a thread like this before but im just wondering......
im looking at a dazzle (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pinnacle-Daz...4996484&sr=8-2)
im just wondering: is it good or crap
like can it record in a good hd or will it be fuzzy if it gets uploaded to youtube and stuff
thanks
I've heard good things about Dazzle, defiantly worth a purchase if your into making montages or whatever, i'd personally splash out like a fiver for a cheap one off eBay lol.
Well, I've heard Dazzles are good but they aren't HD. If you want HD consider buying a PVR, google it.
There are tons of youtube tutorials on how to render dazzle clips in pretty decent quality, of course it won't be in HD but I've seen some that are pretty decent
There was on i was looking at that said something about HD.
So it isn't in HD?
No, Dazzle's are not HD. You can make them better quality, but not HD.
I have Ezcap atm and i also have dazzle and ezcap is better performance quality
so there's only 2 capture cards that record in hd?
HD PVR and the Black Magic Intensity Pro (I think records in HD). The Black Magic can also stream on the internet if you're interested in that. There might be others but those are the only ones I know
well the PVR is like a fortune (for me) and seeing how im not seananners 1337 yet and only starting up, I think ill buy the £60 dazzle.
thanks a bundle
The Hauppauge HD PVR can also stream but it uses 3rd party software which is awful, especially for its price tag.
I think SeaNanners uses the Black Magic over the PVRQuote:

You don't put it in your xbox, it goes into the back of the pc I think. PVRs are easier to set up (I assume) but from what I've seen on set up videos, there are cables and cables. Where's Paul, he'll know which one is what
The HDPVR uses Component HD

This goes into the back of the HD PVR [big picture]
As you can see, it says IN (Bottom Comp. Hd row)
Thats where the XBOX OUTPUT (First picture) goes into
Then hauppauge supply a set of cables to go from the back of the PVR (Out row) into your TV
And then on the back is the powersupply (Supplied) and the Optical input/output (sound) and the USB cable port
The BLACK MAGIC INTENSITY PRO (And shuttle) http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/
Uses HDMI input/output - Offering better quality im guessing as Component only used 720p/1080i, Whereas HDMI uses those AND 1080p? (Correct me if im wrong)
Ok thanks for the help.
It is still quite expensive though lol
