Tried till I'm bule in the face..Can only capture5 min of video/audio using DVD Complete by Dazzle. One post suggested because of file size restrictions of 98/ME but I'm using XP with the defualt sve to directory an NTSF drive..Look into DVD Complete config. but nothing stands out..So with that I turn to the experts..Any suggestions..Thsnk You, Russ

Is there a timer you need to set to do capture? A lot of capture programs will have a timer and if you don't put in some time number the program will only capture a few minutes then stop.

Myself I use the AVerDVD EZMaker PCI capture card and NeoDVD Plus software but even then I have to set the capture timer in NeoDVD. BTW You can buy the AVer capture card and NeoDVD software from CompUSA for $39. I paid $10 for it on sale.

Thanks Bob.
But I even set timer to 10 hours and still no luck.

Unfortunatley all of the software products that are bundled or sold seperately by Dazzle, DVD Complete, Movie Star have a lot of stability problems. I wasted 200.00 on a Dazzle product 1year ago and will never purchase a product from them again. I gave up after trying it on 3 different top notch systems. I finally figured out it was their software and not my systems, Good luck nontheless!

It wasn't the Dazzle Hollywood Bridge, by any chance? If so, there is a terrific (simple) fix for it that makes it work perfectly.

If not -- well, sorry about butting in.

Russ - Have you downloaded the update for DVD complete from the Dazzle site? I'm not familiar with that product though I use the DVC2 with Moviestar 4 to capture. Had to download the XP patch for that software before it ran properly. Good luck - could just be, as other members say, a stability issue - I was warned about DVC2 but took the chance and it looks as though I'm one of the lucky ones.

Russ - forgot to mention - have a look at www.dazzlegeek.com.

The guys there know a thing or two about Dazzle products. Whilst it was aimed at the DVC2 there'd be no harm in checking out any help from them.

Mkelly, No it was the DVC 150.
