Dazzle® Video Creator Platinum from Pinnacle Systems is a plug-and-play USB 2.0 device that allows you to record your home videos and TV recordings directly to DVD from a VCR, camcorder or other video equipment with analog outputs. The Dazzle is so easy to connect - you just have to connect your camcorder and plug into your PC's Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. With the included Pinnacle Instant DVD Recorder software, you can record your videos directly to DVD without first copying them to your hard drive - thus saving both your time and space. It uses a hardware encoding chip for real-time video encoding into high-quality MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and DivX formats without taxing your computer's CPU resources. Combined with Instant DVD Recorder software and Studio QuickStart software, the Dazzle® Video Creator Platinum allows you to create fully polished movies with titles, transitions, music and more, before archiving onto DVDs or sending them to mobile devices.
