I think your Dazzle card comes with moviestar software doesn't it? If it does download

You should also post your problem at this website's forum (its especially for Dazzle products):

Just checked you Hardware comes with U-Lead Studio. I am not sure if TWNH works with that - so try it anyway.

I can capture the movie from my DV ,but only few min and very big file,is that I have to join all the file to make up
one hour movie?
why the VCD movie we can buy is so small ,one CD has one hour movie?

Hi

Not done much of this, but it sounds to me you are capturing and saving normal uncompressed avi files. They will be huge.
and you might loose frames during the capture, if your machine/hard drive cannot keep up.

The VCD's use Mpeg 1 (Compressed) so that's why they are smaller files.

You need to save your AVI files compressed, I know the ATI all in wonder does this, but don't know your card.

If you cannot capture and save the AVI compressed then you will need to join all the AVI's later and convert them into Mpeg for a VCD.

A one hour movie in mpeg (VCD) should fit on one disk

Most movies take 2 disks (VCD) or one DVD these all use compressed video and audio
