Summary: Awesome Product it will Dazzle you.
Comment: I bought the Dazzle so i can save some videos on my pc. Well it works great. Beware does not come with Vista drivers. But what does these days. I highly recommend this it work and delivers quality sound and video and best of all the price was just right. Although I have seen it cheaper elsewhere I really can't complain about the cost.

Summary: Very easy to use
Comment: I bought this so I could transfer all my home videos and taped shows onto DVD. I thought it was very easy to install the software onto my laptop(which runs Vista). I did have to go online for one of the drivers for the editing program, but I have not used this yet since I haven't tried to put any new home videos onto DVD. I find that it's very easy, I just hit play on the VCR and start recording on the program and the movie records to DVD while I can still do other things on the computer and watch something else on TV, as long as I hit the TV/VCR button. I have had it stop recording 2 times, not sure if it was my computer or the program, but other wise no problems. Very easy to use over all.

Summary: You get what you pay for
Comment: I have a newer Vista-based PC and downloaded the latest software "patches' from Pinnacle (330MB worth!). The "patches" install fine and everything appears to work. Tha hardware supplied works as advertised. It's the software that's questionable.

Instant DVD Recorder works, although it's limited in what it allows you to do as far as themes and menus go. I can get it to crash reliably when using a certain supplied background music piece. This results in wasted time and a wasted DVD. The version of Studio supplied is a joke. From poor documentation(or maybe the program just doesn't do what it's supposed to do) to a poor user interface to amateurish themes, it's not worth the trouble. Windows Movie Maker + DVD Maker works a lot better.

Summary: WATCH OUT VISTA PEOPLE
Comment: Three days, hours of installation efforts, and still not there! And that was with support. And did I tell you that I am pretty good with the computer?

If you have Vista, stop right now! The version that ships does NOT have Vista compatible editing software. You can install and record directly to DVD, but you can't edit without the incompatible software.

The software update is available for download (1.4 GB), but mine was corrupted twice using their file manager. I downloaded directly, and that file was fine. . . except their own Vista FAQ points to the wrong file, so I had to download a fourth 1.4 GB file.

I also had to uninstall, use a registry deletion tool, and then discover that the serial number failed.

So, be very careful! It is not as simple as you think, especially with Vista!

Summary: one big problem
Comment: I read all the reviews and am surprised there was no comment about the problem I encountered----it copied just fine but was not able to copy a two hour vhs---the max copy time onto a new dvd is 103 minutes--leaving seventeen minutes that had to be put on another dvd. Threw it away.
