How To Get the Best Quality From the Dazzle Video Capture Device

This video is just a quick tutorial on how the cables need to be setup with your Dazzle Video Capture Device, in order to get the best possible video quality.

In a nutshell it's this:

Cables (white, red, and S-Video): go from Your Console (or other media device) to a Splitter

Plugged into the Splitter are two sets of male to male S-Video, Red, and White (RCA) cables.

One of the sets goes to your TV, the other goes to the Dazzle.

Then in the Dazzle software just select highest quality or whatever it's called, in the settings.

I bought the splitter at Radioshack, and I believe i got the other cables at Best Buy, along with the Dazzle. (not the most cost-effective way to shop of course.)

So if you need a shopping list you'll need:

1 Dazzle Video Capture Device
1 Splitter Box (at least two way splitter)
2 S-Video to S-Video (male-male) cables
2 Red, White (male-male) RCA cables
1 Console - S-Video and RCA cable

And then of course the computer to record it all on.

can u record ur dazzle with SONY VEGAS PRO 9.0!

or only edit the quality and video?

[splodead]

@DoNaVaNq I think you need to use the dazzle software because you are recording with the dazzle, but I'm not sure you can try to mess with it. I don't have vegas so sorry I can't be of more help.

LOL my comp only use the audio device, I have the cables right but the video device wont work:S

I only getting perfect sound, but no video is shown.

//sorry for my english btw ANSWER FAST!!

Here is what i got from your statement:

1. Your computer only uses audio devices (so maybe you mean you don't have a video-out feature?)

2. You have the proper cables

3. Video is not recording

Are you trying to record you playing a game on your PC, on your Computer? Or are you trying to record a game on a console like a PS3 or Xbox360 etc ?

This setup isn't really designed to record your computer screen since most computers don't have S-Video and standard audio out.

[splodead]

Also to note, even if your computer did have a video out feature the only way in which this setup would be beneficial would be if you used another computer to record your game. This would then let you play your game on your computer at full speed while using another computer to record. Usually trying to record and play an intense game like an FPS game is too much for the computer to handle, at least if you want to record with passable quality.

do you just use the regular cables that came with the ps3?

[splodead]

regular cables except use the s-video instead of yellow video cable

[LEGENDxOFxSORA]

[UnbornAssassin7]

I got a dazzle but it won't register the dazzle, its like its not there!

[metaledgehead185]

How would you use this for the wii? I'm confused on the whole spltter thing. Please help me.

@D3dclan a two way splitter isnt actually made perfectly to split up a signal into 2.

it actually does what it says it does , splits the signal leaving both signals missing part of the signal. This results in worse quality than the "splitter box". The "splitter box" is actually called a VDA or video distribution amplifier in which it doesnt just split the signal, it actually takes the signal and replicates it so when it is sent to each output no info. gets lost making it higher quality video.

@DoNaVaNq u can record with the AMcapture and u can take the videos from that and use them in sony vegas 9 or even pinnacle studio
