There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The first thing that happened when I installed the software is that it failed because I had Core Isolation on and that was preventing the installation of some drivers. In order to install the software I had to turn this off. That should have been my first red flag, having to remove security in order for something to be installed. But installation apparently finished, so I launched the software and it worked. I checked for updates, and one was available, so I installed it. After that I launched the software again and was informed that I am not a registered user now (after the fact I read reviews of this product and saw that I am NOT the only one), and the app quit.
So I uninstalled everything using the Uninstall feature. But that doesn't uninstall everything, I still had to go to Installed Apps and remove what it left behind. Against my better judgement, I turned off Core Isolation and reinstalled the software. After installation it asked if I wanted to install the update. Figuring the previous failure was the culprit of the registration issue, I did. Launching the app, I was no longer a registered user and the app quit.
So, I uninstalled everything again, reinstalled and did NOT apply the update. The software then launched and I was able to start transferring the video. The video capture was nothing but choppy video and audio filled with static (NOT in the source tape). Unusable captures. It was then that I decided to just send it all back.
After uninstalling everything to repack it, I turned Core Isolation back on and was informed that there were 5 or 6 incompatible drivers preventing me from turning this security feature back on. So the uninstall feature leaves behind the drivers that required Core Isolation to be turned off, so it could not be turned back on. Luckily the System Security app tells which drivers are incompatible, so I was able to find them in c:\windows\system32 and rename them so they would not load, and I was able to reactivate Core Isolation.
So, at least with Windows 11, in order to use this software be prepared to turn off Core Isolation forever (or until you remove the software and the incompatible drivers), be prepared to never upgrade the software because you will no longer be a registered user (of course you can PURCHASE the newest software after having purchased this) and be prepared for unusable video/audio capture.
AV Capture and processing hardware and software combinations are, evidently, very problematic. Some reviewers praise the quick install and immediate results, and some start blaming software issues, and then hardware issues. This was with all brands, not just Pinnacle. So maybe like you, I was totally confused. Who do I believe?
RELYING ON SOMEONE'S KEY COMMENT...
There was one reviewer who's comments I couldn't get out of my mind. He praised the Dazzle DVC-100 capture device by saying, and I'll paraphrase; ".....it's (Dazzle) the most robust device, and worth purchasing the package, if only for the device... just toss the software and use freeware..." I think that guy's review became my subliminal message that ultimately drove me back to Amazon and my "clicking on my Prime button to place my order!"
WHAT ABOUT THAT "PATCH" FOR WIN 8.1 (?)...
My Dazzle arrived this Saturday, December 6th, '14. which is important to know, because evidently the "patch" that many have complained about needing to download for Windows 8.1, well, it's evidently not needed anymore. I say that because after loading my software, doing a cold-reboot, and then trying to load the patch, I got an error message saying that the patch would not be compatible with my system software, or something along those lines. I bypassed the upload, and went directly to using the Capture Device and the stock software.
BOTTOM LINE, IT DID WHAT I NEEDED, AND THE AUDIO WAS SYNCED WITH THE VIDEO...
1. I set up my Circa 1990's Kyocera/Sony Video8 tape camera-recorder-playback system.
2. Played back a Video8 tape (circa 1990's and monophonic audio) into the Dazzle capture device.
3. Started the software, which took a while to load for the first time.
4. Intuitively figured out that I was going to "Import" from the Capture device.
5. Started the playback and saw preview video in the program window; clicked on "Start Capture."
6. Let the program and the playback unit run for the next hour and a few minutes.
7. When the tape had played out, I clicked on "Stop Capture."
8. "Stop Capture" started an "auto save" to the default VIDEOS folder in Windows.
9. Once saved to the default folder, I did a copy and paste to my photo album.
Bottom line, the copied tape came out great as an MPG, and I then used Window to burn that one hour file (a little over 3 gigs) onto a DVD disk.
I WANTED TO QUICKLY AND EASILY ARCHIVE SOME OLD VIDEO TAPES, AND IT WORKED...
Based on my expectations, this package did exactly what I wanted. I've since recorded to my computer from my Video8 and VHS systems. I'm not concerned about "producing" any videos right now. But if I do, I'll be able to pick from a number of programs. Had I used the editing function, and enjoyed the same success as with the basic function of transferring analog to digital files, I'd have given Pinnacle-Corel a 5 out of 5. Based on my early success, I'm comfortable giving the 4 out of 5 stars.

No pdf manual with the PinnacleStudio 23 software supplied but once managed to
access the support web site Pinnacle/Corel then able to obtain one.
Manual's for both PinnacleStudio 24 and PinnacleStudio 23 well written and
easy to follow once getting started.
