(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi everyone my first thread/post here.

i got my Dazzle DVD recorder for 49 dollars from Frys.

tossed the pinnacle recorder software and picked up Pinnacle Studios 12 Ultimate online.


my setup is using DAzzle DVC 100
Samsung ln-t5271f lcd

PS3

Composite cables with S video as well.


anyways the bottom line is the quality sucks.

i mean i know Svideo or Composite is not great but its at lesat clear on my TV

why is it on my PC its fuzzy and out of focus? Mind you i havent even converted it yet at this point its still a raw file (even after converting same results)

the video has color and picture and sound but thigns are just a little fuzzy andout of focus and you can really tell when you see text in the display and the text seems to overlap itself ever so slightly.


i have tried running the S video cable directly from the PS3 to the Dazzle to rule out a splitter issue and it remained un changed.

i watched numerous youtube dazzle COD test videos and their videos appear to have better quality

i have tried converting to every possible combination file type size etc that Pinnacle offers.

AVI, MPEG, FLV, DIVX small, medium Best, Custom. it doesnt matter..


i just dont understand why my quality sucks and others using the same darn setup has way better quality.


i even tried changing PS3 from 16:9 back to 4:3 as well as in Pinnace Studios too no change.



currently im waiting for a youtube video i just uploaded to finish processing so i can show you exactly what i mean.

im sorry i dont have it right now ijust have to be patient for youtube processing. hopefully it wont take long since its already in 640x480 and FLV format.


i just cant imagine if this Dazzle is called DVD recorder then why when i have the PS3 directly connected to the dazzle doesnt the picture quality match what i see on my tv? my TV is blowing up a 4:3 480i picture on my 52inch lcd just fine with out graininess or fuzzyness why the heck does the picture look worse on a 17 inch lcd monitor.. wtf


i would hate to buy this for actual dvd recording purposes as it would absolutely suck for me if that were the case


thanks for any help or advice


here is my video it finally finished processing.

please dont tell me how garbage i am i know it, im just trying to get the quality first down right now.

click on the link at the top of the embeded video to see the supposed High Quality Version

dazzle dvd recorders are strickly meant for dvds not games

all of the DAzzle boxes are the same.

you pay more for the dazzle platinum because you get better studio software compared to the Dazzle dvd recorder that only comes with dvd recording software that creates VOB files thats it.


the boxes are exactly the same except the colors....


i have seen numerous youtube videos people posted up of their test videos using Dazzle boxes they got with the dvd recorder package and platinum pakages.. all of their qualities look the same except mine.

if you have a red dvd recorder then it will look bad with video games

mine is white. i purcahsed this specific one because that is what all the youtube tutorial videos i found showed they got as well.

added video now to original post.

get a hd cap card if u r using a hdmi for hd quality

Just get non hd..same results will happen.

lol..I really need some recording info and yeah a Dazzle's for DVD's!
