Mike I don't know which model of a Dazzle device that you have but the ones I knew about were DV capture units which is why I suggested Vidi. Apparently yours is something else.

I think my net loss was around $5. There is no other product which does a better job keeping the clock in sync on audio & video than the Canopus. It'll capture to your PC/Mac in DV format, which is a very lightly compressed format good for post processing. I'd dedicated a 1TB 7200rpm hard drive for the capture, like a Western Digital Caviar Black.

Converting Hi8 Tapes To Dvd

Any way you look at it, MacPCConsultants, old tape is a hassle full of noisy junk that gives digital encoders a fit. The noise looks worse after encoding. Upsampling errors from HDTV don't help. That's why many people who are serious about archiving their more valued old tapes will capture to lossless AVI, do some clean up, then encode to DVD. You are going to get a lot of replies on how to post-process the video, clean it up and burn it to DVD. However, the absolute best way to get it on your computer, with good quality and the A/V IN SYNC (you think this part would be easy - it's not), is to buy a Canopus ADVC-110.

Even the same car manufacturer can make one good model car. This is not my area of expertise. Can't understand much of what has been posted. Where can an easy 'cookbook' method be found? But this, do this, run this, etc. I have been a member here for 6 years and I have never seen a guide with an easy cookbook method for doing computer-based analog tape to DVD conversions. Some tapes are relatively easy to capture.
