Very similar problem, posted this to another group a while ago but no
responses as yet. Not strictly an MM question but maybe someone here could
help.

"Friend bought one of these Dazzle Video Creators for use with a Hi-8
camcorder:
http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Dazzle/Dazzle+Video+Archiving/Dazzle+Video+Creator+Platinum.htm
So far we have tried 2 laptops, both fairly new, HDD space and memory aren't
an issue.
Have also tried 2 different Canon Hi-8 camcorders but we simply can't get
either
PC to take in video or audio.
The Dazzle device is recognised by XP and proper drivers loaded.
Have tried both the phono and S-video connectors.
Tried a few different programs including Movie Maker, Premiere Elements,
Pinnacle Studio 10 and Ulead's DVD Movie Creator but simply get anything
from camera to PC.
Anyone else using one of these can offer a solution?"
