Software Reviews of Dazzle DVD Recorder [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: 5 Fatal Problems I had with the Dazzle - you can too!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a TERRIBLE product.
I bought this from Best Buy about 6 months ago for $50. This was a complete waste of money.
Problems include:
1. No instructions. You can barely figure out what to do. It is not plug and play, as the software is confusing and the methods recommended by the Introductary Wizard are inconsistent and do not necessarily work.
2. Bad software. The software would not recognize my DVD Burner, and when I finally got it to do so, I got a message that there was an Error which prevented burning to DVD. I had used my DVD burner on another project earlier that day, so the burner was working fine, but the Pinnacle software refused to use it.
3. Very bad Tech Support. After trying to figure it all out on my own, I finally went to the website and had an online chat with customer service. After about 45 minutes of asking me if I had hooked the 3 cables up to my VCR correctly, or the USB port plug to my PC, I was told that the real culprit here was the DVDs I was using were the wrong format. I should go out and spend more money to buy a different format just for their product. That was the only guidance I got from Tech Support. And when I did shell out the money for the recommended format, it *still* gave me the same errors.
4. Misleading transition from VHS to DVD. Eventually, I found out from message boards that the Dazzle can burn content, but despite what the advertising says, it can best be accomplished by copying from VHS to your harddrive, then separately burning the harddrive material to DVD. I did this with both DVD -R and DV +R formats, on the off chance that the advice I got regarding formats was accurate.
5. Awful final DVD product. In both the formats I burned, there were technical glitches which rendered the DVDs worthless. Each was filled with skips and pauses in the video playback. In each instance the audio was off completely. In the original, a person would be talking with a soft wave sound in the background, but in the DVD, in the same scene, there would be no talking and loud music. This total disconnect of audio with the bad video issues made the DVDs unwatchable.
I cannot state highly enough how disappointed I was in this product.
