PINNACLE SYSTEMS Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge for Macintosh

I purchase this item before it was associated with Pinnacle from a retail store. Unfortunately, I didn't try it out before the warrantry ran out which is something I REALLY REGRET. The audio capture is choppy 8 out of 10 times and those stats don't cut it when you spend over $250. The support from Dazzle at the time was almost non-existent. We were told to try different setting instead of the one that matched our brand (as if we didn't try that). Now that Pinnacle has bought Dazzle they don't even list this item on their website. If I were you I would invest in a DV camera with the firewire instead of this because it will bring you nothing but HEADACHES when you want to use it.

I finally got around to opening this product and connected it to my "new Emac." My Mac is very good at automatically recognizing plugins via fire wire. The doggone thing just don't work! I did trouble shooting both through mac and pinnacle systems online website. All I have now is a $200.00 statue! Don't waist your time or money on this junk.
