4.0 out of 5 stars Works okay and fits a niche, 31 Dec 2007
By Mr. A. S. Measures - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a straight forward product intended to import analog video signal to footage in iTunes. In my case the signal came from a Sony camera (TRV59E) with a Hi8 tape.

Tried it with a Powerbook G4 1.25GHz (1.25G RAM and uprated HDD) running Leopard 10.5.1. The software on the CD needed updating from their website and even then the resulting footage stuttered every few seconds. Perhaps it will work properly on systems slower than this but maybe with Tiger rather than Leopard.

Next, I tried an iMac with a 2GHz Core Duo, also running Leopard 10.5.1 and this time it performed as expected. The result is 640x480 footage in an MPEG-4 file.

The supplied software does its job with no frills, subtleties or preferences involved. And on the plus side, this software is hard to misunderstand and only allows you proceed step by step; so there is no learning curve.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally - A Product that does exactly what it says on the tin, 24 Feb 2008
By A. Thomas (York, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After looking into a Windows compatible video capture device for quite some time, i've dealt with various brands and designs, but to no avail. However, when I bought my first Mac a week ago, I decided to try again. I decided after much deliberation to go for this particular model, mainly based on its implied simplicity. I've watched many videos on youtube, and i suggest that prospective buyers do the same. All you have to do, is plug your three composite cables in, install the software, and your away. Recording is as easy as just naming the file, and hitting record. The files are in mp4 format, directly compatible with iMovie which came with my Mac.

I personally bought this to record my xbox 360 on my machine, and it is perfect for doing so. However, naturally would work with anything that has a standard composite in leadset

4.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculously simple, 14 Mar 2008
By Mr. Baj Peacock "Gamergimp" (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's worth pointing out that the Pinnacle Videdo Capture for Mac is actually a Dazzle, which I didn't realise. This is a Good Thing.

It encodes straight to MPG4 and dumps it into iTunes by default (but it's easy enough to grab it from the library into your editor of choice).

I got mine primarily to record saved game clips from Halo 3 on my XBox 360. The quality isn't HD, obviously, and you will be unable to play in hi-def while capturing as far as I can tell.

If you intend to capture live footage while you play then you'll need an output splitter for the picture and the audio because the preview screen is very small and there is a slight lag between console and display.

For some reason the audio wouldn't come through my laptop while setting it up but was actually captured, which was weird. On one of the test clips there was a slight offset in the audio to the video but nothing distracting. On another clip there was some distortion on louder sounds.

Those points aside, it took less than five minutes to set up, was ridiculously easy to capture the clips, and the video quality is good enough for the price. All in all it's a decent budget capture card.
