Summary: Never Again
Review: After hours of thrift shopping I found myself buying the Dazzle DV creator 150. Accourding to specs best product for the money...WRONG. Not only did I waste my time I have wasted $160.oo.... Not only did the program get the last laugh on me the piece of equipment that came with it is better off being threw in the trash then wasting any more of my time. To all that is in anyway interested in this product turn away or forever wish you never bought this product. If you buy from most electronic stores the policy states you can not return such items only replace with same. [...]

Summary: Totally horrible
Review: After just a little while the program started malfunctioning. The website support information was useless and I could not find a telephone support number anywhere. I am returning this tomorrow and I will never buy anything from Pinnacle again. BEWARE.

Summary: A bad way to spend $120
Review: For the past day I've been trying to use, with no success, my new Dazzle 150 to capture video. Their technical support consists of a web site that suggest the problem can be fixed by downloading new drivers ( that doesn't remady my problem). It appears that Dazzle was bought by another company and I'm left with an expensive bookend.

Summary: It is useless...
Review: I am not sure what's worse. Wasting DVDs trying to make a movie or the time wasted. Studio 8 that comes with this video capture device crashes randomly. After capturing 4-5 minutes of video, it stops capturing and will not capture anything until I have to physically unplug and replug the USB cable. I have not been able to (not once) capture anything greater than a 4 minute clip and I have a 2.8 Ghz HyperThreaded PC with 1 GB of memory.
I will be returning it first thing in the morning.

Summary: Rename it??
Review: I bought a "Dazzle Digital Video Creator 150 Hi Speed". I had heard high reviews about it's performance, supported by Pinnacle software, so I bought one. Dazzle is now owned by Pinnacle. They've turned this unit to junk. Now they are trying to rename this unit and sell it as a "PINNACLE S DAZZLE DVC 150 VIDCAP-USB 2.0 EDIT SOL"? I've been in contact with their tech support over my issues and they are either not willing to divuldge any information or really have no idea what they're doing. I've isolated the problem with my system to a single file and all they tell me to do is uninstall/reinstall. Recently, they have only inquired about my recent findings. Unless you have the knowledge to create registry switches to use this, as I have done, proceed with caution. Don't rely on any advanced tech support.

Summary: will not work
Review: I bought the dvc 150 usb 2.0 last week. I hooked it up to my 1.7 gig athlon with 333 mhz mainboard and DDR 2700 mhz ram. The mainboard came stock with usb 2.0. I was read to grab the video. All I received instead was a blank capture screen. I went to the website and followed all of the instruction for updating drivers to no avail.
I hooked it up to my wifes internet surfing 700 mhz usb 1.0 computer for laughs and it started capturing video, but it dropped a lot of frames. There was not any sound. I went to the store and bought a brand new audigy sound card and a serial usb 2.0 card and installed them. The video capture quit working.
I plugged the dvc 150 back into the usb 1.0 usb port on the mainboard and the video started working. I didn't even check for sound I was so ticked at the card.
This card is supposed to be high speed usb 2.0. I gave up messing with it, put it back in the box and returned it for a full refund. I am now waiting for the hauppauge pvr 250 to come in the mail. It has a lot better reviews and costs less.

Summary: Think before you buy
Review: I read the reviews like everyone else but thought...come on...this software must work decent otherwise major retailers wouldn't sell it. The day after I bought the software the audio in jack fuzzed out on me in the middle of a capture. The program froze several times in the 24 hours after purchase. Eveytime I closed the program...I was requested to send an error report. Product is being returned today. (pentium 4 2.0 ghz)

Summary: refund, please!
Review: Oh, boy - this thing is such a dud. I got it installed, managed to copy one piece of video (after several software crashes and restarts), only to discover that it had screwed up my Real Player and Windows Media Player, so now all my other video files wouldn't play! No solution on their site, didn't have the patience to deal with calling tech support, so I did a system restore, packed it back up in the box and it's going right back. What a waste of time and money! It's not even heavy enough to use as a doorstop.
