Yes, and they don't always even work. Very unreliable and poor quality, HD PVR or alternative solution recommended... coming from someone who has past experience with both 
Hmmm what Dazzle are you talking about....ive never had ONE problem out of mine and I can get better quality also.

No I didnt get lucky. I know how to buy and where to buy.
I never said better quality than a gay PVR....I meant I can get the quality better than a Yellow RCA jack.

1. It's common knowledge around YT that some Dazzles just don't work because they're sometimes poorly made.
2. A gay PVR? You mean something you can't afford.

Oh im sorry that I don't get money and things handed to me. I got a job, bills to pay, food to buy so I can eat. I don't get money to waste on something I really don't need this point in time. Dazzle works just fine with a S Video and Sony Vegas.
So don't say I cant afford something

Please stop flaming, I've reported the other user.
Thats the thing, I just want to buy a Dazzle and be ready to go. I don't want to have to buy all these extras etc. Can that be done or do you have to buy more things?

Yeah you can just buy one and be ready to go.....im just saying a s video plug in will give you better quality than the yellow rca jack that is if you care about quality like some people :/
If not then if you have the regular RCA jacks you will need splitters and a extra set of Yellow Red and White jacks so you can use the TV and sound but also record it....cause on the software you get there is a small screen and you cant play on it. But to make it easy I do this.
I bought one splitter and have one extra yellow rca jack to plug into my tv to have picture and just hook the sound up to the dazzle.
Its hard to explain but there is some videos on youtube that have this setup. I would take a picture of mine BUT im at work so I cant :p
