Im asking members that have a dazzle.
I'm going to buy a Dazzle plus HD.
Does the dazzle give you the RCA adapters?

It does not come with the RCA adapters: you will need 1 RCA coupler and 3 RCA splitters.
Be sure to get the right ones in terms of male and female ends!

I actually used a video on youtube. I went to Radio Shack and purchased all the components for under $20.00!
Here's the list:
1 AV/RCA coupler (the ones with the Red, White and Yellow inputs) -- both ends should be female.
3 AV/RCA splitters -- BOTH ENDS, the single and the double end must be MALE!
I used a video like this, I'm not sure if the instructions are the same but my set up is similar to the video.

I have one posted.
A few things before hand. It was my first, and there was too many things to fix (volume, picture size and quality, and few other things)
Otherwise, quality is recorded well, I recorded in DV. Youtube really screws up the quality.

You stretched it out too much, but im pretty impressed with the quality

Yeah, I haven't gotten another chance to fiddle with my Dazzle because my PC keeps crashing, however, I'll fix it.
For an affordable price of $80, I was pretty impressed as well since I don't just capture gameplay but also I make small videos for my university. I really recommend it for entry-level non-serious stuff.
NOTE: Quality on the RCA while actually playing was severely diminished. Perhaps you would consider buying an HD video capture device, but that is much more expensive.
Bytehoven also knows much about this subject. See if he can enlighten you!

Well I dont play on HD, I have an HDTV but dont wanna fork up 40$ for another set of cables. So it wont be a problem. Plus HD PVR's are like $200 and Black Magics are better but theyre even more expensive x_x

Does anyone know how to make high resolution and quality movies using the Dazzle? I'm stuck at using DV quality but it still comes out badly, and even worse on youtube. Also, capturing using RCA cables suck, can I substitute Component cables (RGB) or are the signal different?
*Sigh* I wish I had HD for it. But I'd be paying loads more.
