I have this thing called the dazzle, since I didn't have enough money for a mini dv camera, and then just got the dazzle later. If you have a mini dv, you should get a firewire cable and a vid card that has 1394 input jack.

Speaking of which, does anyone know if there is an analog to 1394 jack cable... like somethign that is rca on one end and 1394 on the other?

I dont belive there is a way to convert composite to firewire... I think that the Dazzle is the closest thing you'd get. Or jujst buy a TV Card, and input with that. Most of em have s-video and composite input.

gravtek; it is impossible to play/capture analog video via firewire. you need a tv-card into your pc for analog capture or a gfx card with analog video-in. a tv-card doesn't cost much. so it's the cheapest choice.

hope this helps you :)

Actually the dazzle works well, but it doesn't allow capture above 340 x 258, or whatever that resolution should be. So it's not professional quality, it looks alright when outputed to TV. But the problem is that there is quality loss if I want to do something in Premiere. But I only use premiere for slowmo. If I'm making a production I just use Dazzle Moviestars mpeg compression (hella fast) and just deal w/ the large file size.

Yea that's the full resolution, but i'm saying that the dazzle won't capture that high (cause it's dumb like that)

Yes sadly analong, it'd be great to have a mini dv, but i got my camera 2 years ago and I didn't have the extra 6-700 dollars.
