alrite... obviously the Dazzle DVC 150 USB is better then the other ones below it...
but what about the ones above it..
"Dazzle USB 2.0 DVD recorder"
"Dazzle video Creator platinum"
?

what are the diffrence of the 3?
and which Dazzle do u recommend of them all..


also what is the best movie making program..?
ive heard that windows movie maker was great. is there anything better?

WMM is alright on editing..but for compressing(or encoding, whichever term you use), it sucks. Atleast, most videos I've seen that have been made in WMM have had crappy quality..if you want something a little better, try Pinnacle, it's easy to use, more features than WMM, and you can encode to more than just .wmv (.avi and .mpg) If you want something more advanced, try Sony Vegas, or Adobe Premiere..

As for the Dazzle's, the descriptions on them are pretty much all the same, except different wording. If you want to waste your money on a 150, then do it, but I'd suggest a 90, or possibly even 85 depending on money situation.

The other two things are just fancier ones, the video creator platinum, you can record to .mpg or divx formats, instead of recording uncompressed..the other one, you're basically recording to DVD.

150 is superb quality, and with an s-video it's even better.........but it's more. With nice settings on wmm you can have good quality with a 90. I have some nice settings...but making vids w/ WMM is a waste.

I have a 90, imo w/ right settings it's good...but 150 is best out of those that I know, Idk what the other two are.

dazzle 85 and dazzle 90 dont have much of a difference.

90 is alittle better then 85 but for price range 85 is alot cheaper. ether way it depends on your money situation.

you dont have much money. dazzle 85 is for you

if your those types that want the best. dazzle 150 is for you

How much better is a Dazzle than a capture card? If it is at all.

I just Use a DVD recorder with Rw's, but thats just me. I had to buy ripping software though, so its not as good. But it's multifunctional. Like the guy above me said 85 is good enough but if you have the money and you want the best then you could get the 150.

For an editing program, WMM comes preinstalled with Windows XP, Pinnacle is alright, But Sony Vegas 6 kicks ***. I'd do the first video with WMM, and once you ge the hang of it, buy Vegas 6. I don't have premire, and i havent downloaded a trial yet, so I can't help you there.

Also If your like me and want teh superbest, don't buy Flash for video editing. The .mov stuff dosent work as it should and its hard to get audio in. Def use Vegas over that.

Also if your going to use a trial don't download vegas. The Vegas trial won't let you edit video at all.

will someone post one of there videos using a Dazzle 150, and a good movie maker such as pinnacle studios 10 or vegas 6..
so i have an idea how it will look.. if i happen to buy those.

^^ that video was on adrens post. its the [nt] clan video.

NX is using ads tech dvd xpress

assult is using dazzle 90

pbjelly is using dazzle 150

edge is using 150

as you can see in assults part the quality isnt as good as pbjelly and edge but its still pretty damn good. NX quality is awesome, i would say a little better then dazzle 150. so i guess you can decide what you want.

i would suggest dazzle 90. i just bought mine for 33 dollars plus shipping on ebay.

dude all dazzle does on the computer is record and save onto your computer. this can be done on windows movie maker or the pinnacle that you get with dazzle.

i havnt really heard or seen studio 10.

if you have windows xp and windows movie maker there isnt a reason why it shouldnt work. like in otter post its really simple.
