This product records any games console you are in possession of. I have tested it on my xbox360, it works once you follow the tutorials on youtube to the letter. Patience is a virtue, however you will reap the benefits. I even tested it on my N64 that I still own and the quality was amazing. It will work on vista because that is what I own.
Here are a few recommendations to take into consideration:
1) Get a double ended video with audio leads.
2) Get 3 splitters. This product will not work without them.
3) If you plan to record on xbox360 and/or ps3 follow the youtube tutorials.
4) You need movie maker to compile your videos to a valid format to upload to youtube.
5) For xbox360/ps3 set quality to good, the picture won't lag. I found this out on further testing.
6) Get amcap to turn the picture to colour once you listen to a tutorial on youtube about the picture problem you might face.
7) Your computer might crash and go on blue screen. This isn't that big a deal. Just persevere.
8) The memory required is bigger than you would normally find but you can try compressing it into a good format like .avi before recording.
The big positive for me is that it works and even records voices of your friends on your xbox360 if you have your speakers set to both.
The product is very simple to use if you follow the advice given.
Once you get this product working properly you wouldn't pay for anything else just be prepared for a few snags.

This is, in my opinion, an excellent purchase. The Dazzle is effective and does exactly what it says it does. I found the software quick and easy to install, and there was no need for any "patches" on my system (Vista), unlike (I think) on some older versions of the program.
The software itself is perfectly simple and effective - it takes you through step-by-step, and allows you to customise the menus of the DVDs with the included templates or your own images. It's slightly limited if you wanted the DVDs to look more professional, but for my uses it was quick and easy. It also allows you to add music and alter the fonts/layouts of the scenes. It's slightly annoying having to play each tape at normal speed, but that's to be expected and you can watch the video playing in the corner of the window, which is nice to check that it's still running properly.
I would have liked it to be possible to manually change the layout of the scene icons on the DVDs but, as it specifies, it's meant to be simple and quick. Another slight problem is that the software shuts itself down if the screensaver comes on or I lock the computer. At least, that's what I find with mine! It also eats up memory like there's no tomorrow - on my computer (2GB memory) it's hard to run anything else without the video jerking!! Other than that, I've had no major problems apart from a few issues (it had a "burning error" after hours of work, though that may be my burner). You should also be aware that the quality of the DVDs is only as good as the VCR - any issues it has are carried over and probably amplified on larger screens, but there's probably no problem with newer video players.
I really like the design of the hardware - it's quite large but looks very modern and only has a few ports so it's easy to hook up to the VCR. I had to buy an adapter lead for it to work with our VCR but that was easy to get hold of and it does the job. You do always need an adapter lead so bear that in mind before buying this so you know it's easy to find (and that it works!) before you make the commitment of buying the Dazzle.
I would definitely recommend this as it's easy to install and use, and it's really good value for money and for my purposes, the software doesn't need to be advanced. The simple options available are plenty for most users I would have thought. I'm very happy with my purchase, and I hope that it continues to work this brilliantly!

The Dazzle seemed ideal for what I wanted so I bought it. Since the product did not contain a scart to 3 jack plug lead, I had to buy one of those as well. So I was a bit unhappy when the Dazzle software crashed on my up to date, fast, XP pc. I contacted Pinnacle help. They are only available via the web - and after my experiences, you can see why! They had me reload the software 3 times using various different Windows formats - eg in safe mode, with all utilities switched off etc and still it did not work. Each time I had to do what they suggested and then send back the results - and it was at least a day before they replied, with many further unsuccessful suggestions to try. So I wasted hours and hours and at the end after about a month of messages back and forth, they told me they had no further suggestions. So I returned the product. I ended up with a scart to 3 jack plug lead which I now don't need, and paying the product carriage both ways for a product that doesn't work. Does not seem fair to me. I recommend all prospective buyers to avoid Dazzle like the plague.

Please, don't get it for capturing gameplay.
It is ridiculous how bad this product actually is. Assuming you want to upload to YouTube, don't. This sounds harsh, but NOBODY wants to watch Standard Definition gameplay. Read more

32/ 64 BIT?
I ordered this item as it said it was for Windows7. When it arrived it was only for 32bit, it wouldn't work, and I have a 64bit system. Why is this not on the technical details?
