• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I bought a dazzle capture card several years ago to try and capture home movies recorded on a camcorder that I bought right before digital cameras were the big thing.

I could NEVER get the software to work correctly on PC or MAC and it was/is incredibly frustrating.

I really want to try and capture those home movies so I could edit them and/or put them onto dvd and my son wants to capture some of his video game playing to post to youtube.

My question is:

is there some software I could find somewhere (preferably free) that would allow me to use my old dazzle device to try and upload analog video?

Thanks for your help!

You might want to give Video Capture Software. Video, Webcam or Screen Recorder a try. The site says it works with the Dazzle USB device so perhaps it works with other Dazzle products. If I remember correctly they have a time limited demo that could be used to test whether it would work.
