What programs are compatible with Dazzle DVC100?

[xoxokev]

I just bought the Dazzle, but it didn't come with Pinnacle Studio. I was wondering if there are any free programs I can download to capture video with my Dazzle. I tried using Virtual Dub, but I couldn't capture the audio. My OS is Windows Vista 32-bit

i think you download pinnicle studios, you can also try using windows movie maker

Did you select the correct audio source? (go to the audio tab in capture mode and check the correct one)

I dont think Dazzle-100 works with Vista.

Thanks for your help you guys. I just decided to get Pinnacle Studio 12, it captures just fine. But I have one more question

What settings should I use to get the best quality on YouTube? Using Pinnacle Studio 12 and the Dazzle

I'm not too familiar with Pinnacle Studio, nor the types of files it makes. Just record at something around 640 x 480 resolution with a decent bitrate and you should be fine, or record with media encoder following this guide http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=214972

Wow, something I can actually help with!
I have a Dazzle DVC as well. I use the built in uploader in Pinnacle studio 12, you get videos of about this quality:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=walZsLZJIFg&feature=channel_page

Instead, I use Sony Vegas 8 to edit the video. I upload the file, and as ChiboSempai said, use the 640x480 resolution. I then encode it to WMV9 file, and upload to youtube. The result is a video of this quality (Watch in high quality):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0HpDzIGpCc&feature=channel

Hope this helps~!

Any Dazzle that is 100+ cannot use any other program apart from pinnacle studio 10 (and up), since it records in Mpeg format. The older dazzles, on the other hand, could because they recorded in avi which was perfect for programs like virtualdub.

I couldn't get windows media encoder working with my Dazzle DVC 170

So yes, the best solution is to record in pinnacle studio, and then do the encoding in another program such as sony vegas, xilisoft, or virtualdub. You may have to convert your mp4's to avi's before the encoding/compressing process.
