I have had a lot of requests asking me to do a tutorial on how to make the Dazzle Platinum or any other Dazzle work. So i have done it for the Pinnicle 14 Studios to make it compatable with Xbox 360 and also PS3. Hopefully This will help you and make you christmas present more usefull! Rate and Subscribe.

Dazzle image full size on Youtube

Firstly in order to enable your image to be full size when uploading to Youtube you will need to change you television format in 'Widescreen' on the Xbox 360 Dashboard.
Once you have done this you will want to ensure that you Dazzle preset capture settings are set to 16:9 and not 4:8.
After this once you have captured your image you will need to drag it onto the Pinnacle Studio timeline. Once your image is on this timeline double click the captured image and an editing system will appear on you Pinnacle Studios. Once this editing system has appeared click the 7th option down on the left hand side.
Once you have done this you should be able to crop the size of the image and re-size the image to a full screen format.

Message me if you have any problems in completing this


Still no Imput Signal

Firstly ensure that you are not trying to play in HD (anything over 480p) or have the HD setting switched on with your xbox. Also you cannot play through a HDMI cable. Although the dazzle records a HD image it will not let you play and record the HD image at the same time and therefore you need to play in standard definition.
Also simply closing down the programme and re-opening it sometime helps with this problem. If not check that all the device drivers are working and up to date.
If these drivers are either old or corrupt then you will need to go onto the pinnacle studio website and update the pinnacle drivers. Or as an alternative to this you can re-install the disk that comes with the Dazzle DVC 100 and this will normally update or re-install the drivers =)

Thanks :)

  • im currently uninstalling it at the moment. So i have a few questions. Im using a rocketfish HDTV composite cables. It looks like the white xbox cables but this one is HDMI but into a composite look. It has like 6 cables attached to it. I have the standard into the dazzle and the RGB cables into the tv. I flipped the switch to HDTV and it worked. I ran into the computer followed everything but it still says "No input signal" Is something wrong? My tv is HD the composite cords are HD btw.

  • @ChoasJesterr You cannot record the Dazzle in HD as it will only record an image of below 480p from an xbox 360 (it is only HD from DVD players etc.). Therefore you cannot play through a HDMI cable of component cables whilst recording as there will be 'No Input Signal' as it will not receive the image through the Dazzle.

    I know it is a bit of a scam from Dazzle saying it records in 720p or other HD modules but the fact is it doesnt with gaming devices :/. However it can be rendered into 720p

  • I followed every step and the video is very helpful but the only thing is my videos don't record me and my friends talking in party chat. Why is that?? What can I do to fix this?

  • @LifeWithDusty You can never record you own voice through a Dazzle. however to record people in your party or game you have to change your preference so that the voice chat also plays through your tv

  • Awesome video! Are you using splitters in this? I don't have any, but my friend said that they aren't absolutely necessary.

  • @homelespenguin well now that you explained that i finally got it to work. thanks for taking the time with me. These are the steps if you have an HDTV it is going to work for sure. Download pinnacle studio 12 and follow this guys tutorial. If your computer still says No input signal go into studio 12 trial and try to capture in there it should work like it did for me then go back to studio 15 and wall-A magic lol. Also make sure it is on component settings. Yup it also depends how you set it up

  • my dazzle has too many dropped frames and brightness is terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @kloosternator i feel your frustration 100% I been trying to get this shit working all day and it just wont work. i followed this bs tut and it still sits here and says the same thing. Im pissed cause i spent over 120 dollars for this piece of shit. It shouldn't be this hard to do really.

  • thank you so much mate, i spent about 4-5 hours yesterday trying to get it to work and it wouldn't but luckily enough i found this video. thanks for the help :)

  • @kloosternator Try re-installing the pinnacle program this sometimes works
