Suggestions On Buying Cap Card

[x420x Lovin]

Okay you guys,

I need some suggestions on if I should get a Dazzle Video Creator Plus.

I Just recently built a new computer

Here are the specs on my comp.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz
RAM: DDR2 4GB Corsair Memory
MoBo: ASUS P5QC
Video Card: EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 512MB DDR3
PSU: Corsair 850 Watt PSU


The only thing i can think of that will completely kill my setup is my hard drive as it isn't a SATA drive. Its one of those old slow Hard drives. If its neccesary to get a new HDD to capture off my xbox360, I will go buy it if needed.

What I was wondering if my computer has the strengt to capture the video through the Dazzle.

Also I had a dazzle before but the video captured was interlaced. Do you guys know if pinnacle studio has some kind of de-interlacing process or know a software that does?

Thanks, any help appreciated

You never want deinterlaced-on-the-fly capturing, it will be awful quality drop-frame method. Your video will be jerky and full of jaggies.

What do you recommend to do?

I dont want to resize anything. I'm wondering how most people get such good quality on youtube by just using pinnacle studio.

Good quality? Youtube? In the same sentence?
