    Im new with video capturing, I bought Dazzle 85, It didnt come with any RCA connectors or anything, I knew my tv had an S-Video port on the back so i went back in the store and bought an s-video cable. I hooked the s video up to the capturing source and to the back of the tv.. But I cant capture any video from my tv with movie maker or pinnacle studios. Am i not able to make a direct connection with the s-video from the tv to the dazzle device to catpure?

    My guess is that the S-Video on the tv will most probably be Output not input and ur capture card will be Output. Output to output :p it wont work but you could get a s-video to rca plug thatll work.

    What kinda tv you got?

    Err. I went out and bought a vcr, and regular rca cables and I hooked everything up (im trying to record my halo 2 gameplay) and the quality is bad. Im capturing the video with Windows Movie maker but their are nasty green and purple lines covering up the preview of it..
