The filmer pack and reel is where the problems lie. The dazzle works fine. Its just tweaking the settings to get the best quality. Its the HD dazzle, but its not a HD PVR. You will nvpever get a HD quality from it. Trying the S Video set up currently to see if it differs much from component standard set up.

So if you want top quality capture then go for a HD PVR. But if you wanna spend less money, dazzle is easy to use and average quality ( pending the settings are spot on). BUT if your going to go for the dazzle, go to Amazon or ebay and get just the dazzle. The actual capture device costs around £20 $ for you cross atlantic folk. When I payed £80 for my Dazzle I wasnt aware you could purchase the Dazzle seperate from the software. So you pay £60+ for the software, so if your into that stuff, torrent it, or however you go about it.
