Dazzle Capture with Wins 10

[leachim]

I have Pinn Studio and Dazzle v.23.2.4

The dazzle is DVC100 and is black with a blue light on it

In the Dazzle programme I cannot get sound

S video and composite are connected to a Sony Digital8 camcorder dcr-trv265e and only work on the S-video input in Dazzle

Am I missing drivers ?

In Device manager the Audio driver is dated 04/25 for the DVC100

And the video driver is dated 10/20

Historically, I remember reading there could be a driver issue

Any help appreciated !

Neither s-video nor composite video carries sound. You need to connect the audio outputs of the camcorder to the capture device.

Thanks

The composite cable has 3 connectors - the red and white I thought carried L & R sound....

[jagabo]

Yes, the red and white connectors are audio, the yellow connector composite video. You didn't mention connecting the red/white cables to the DVC100 previously.

dcr-trv265e doesn't have RCA connectors for component video and L/R audio.
You need a special A/V cable with 3.5 mm jack on one end and 3 RCA connectors on the other. It will carry those 3 signals.

Yes, it looks like the right one.

So is it a driver issue ???

Yep, that is how I connected it !

Thanks

No, not a driver issue. How are you determining there's no audio? There are two types of DV files, one with explicit video and audio streams, the other with a single stream that's marked as video but also includes the audio. Many programs don't see the audio in the second type and I suspect that is what you have. Which type you get is determined by the capture software.

Using the black dazzle, I can get a picture in Pinn Studio for Dazzle 23.2.4 and record it, but on playback on the computer there is no sound

The drop down menu to choose Composite or S-Video import only gets a signal on S-Video - even though only the white, red and yellow leads are connected to the camera and Dazzle ????

Here is the Audio input:

That's such a terrible capture card. Not suggested. Barely better than an Easycap (aka Easycrap).

My 2 cents concerning currently available USB capture dongles - if you have to take the analog route for your DV camera:
The I-O DATA GV-USB2 is my preference. (Beware of fakes floating around).
The Hauppauge USB-live2 (former version with former drivers) used to be ok as well. Had some issues with its latest driver update though. Currently there is a new HW version of the USB-live2 with new drivers. As I don't have it I can't comment.
How to capture lossless YUV 4:2:2 using these devices has been discussed many times in this forum, do a search - I am just lazy to provide some links.
I can't help you with Pinnacle Studio.

Edit: Your sound issue, from the SONY manual:

The Pinnacle 510s are really nice but they also have different generations of that card. The chances of getting the right version on eBay aren’t great. The Pinnacle cards also have a DV bridge so you can use WinDV instead of Pinnacle Studios.

There is absolutely no reason to buy a out of production card when you have modern cards performing better or equal, for example the cards mentioned by Sharc.
In addition, they work flawless with modern OS like Windows 10 and Windos 11.

The DV bridge to USB is a good reason. The recommended Pinnacle cards work well on windows 10 with Virtualdub if he is going to do an analog capture. A windows 7 PC can be found for really cheap anyways online.

[lollo]

It is an old card out of production, found used on the market. Buy a new card, that is better or at least equivalent in performances. For DV capture other solutions exist (although Pinnacle is nice for its USB output).

[Gary34]

Have you used a Pinnacle 510 and why do you think that those cards are equivalent?
