This review is for Dazzle DV-Editor DM-6000.

This product does not work. I could not capture video from my Sony DCR-TRV20 mini DV camcorder using this product.

On its outer package it says "capture video from any digital camcorder". There is even a picture of Sony camcorder on the package (of cause they removed the brand name). I checked Dazzle's web site and found an article saying that there is compatibility problem when using Sony camcorders. I sent them an email asking if this product really works on Sony camcorders. They replied that if the problem is posted on their web site, it means the problem has not been solved. What a joke.

This package is great for video game players who want screenshots/ movies/ audio for web sites. The screengrab feature is easy to use, and the resolution can easily be adjusted. The audio encoding is also noteworthy, as it can record in several popular formats, including Real Audio. The stand out, however, is the MPG encoding, which is relatively easy to use. Grabbing video from camcorders/ game systems is great, and the encoder puts them at a decent size while maintaining good image quality.

Overall, it's a good purchase, but for a special brand of consumer. Pick it up if you don't want to shell out the cash for a capture card (This review written based on "last year's model", the Parallel Port version).
