First off, here are the things you need to buy.

1) Dazzle Digital Video Creator Plus (Dazzle 100). Best buy is probably the best place to buy it if you don't like ebay. It will cost you about $65.



2) Microsoft S-Video Cable. Notice that this cable does not have the required component wires in order to play in HD on an HDTV. Do not buy this cable if you are on an HDTV. This will ruin the quality on your TV. Instead, buy the cable below this one.





The following items are only if you would like to have audio. If not, just scroll down.

3) Audio Y-Adapter. Very cheap product. It will cost no more than $10 and can be found at radioshack, best buy, etc.


4) 6 Foot Extension for the Item above. It will cost about $5 and can be found at any local electronics store.



Now, it is time to set up your capture card.

First, replace your xbox cable with the s-video cable that you have.

Plug in all of your wires except for the white audio cable and s-video (black circle).

Plug the s-video into your dazzle and the white audio cable into your Audio Y-Adapter.

Plug the 6 Foot Extension onto the adapter and into your computer.

Plug the USB from your dazzle into your computer as well.

Now, here is what you need to do.

Open up Virtual Dub.

Then go to File > Capture AVI.

Go to Video > Preview.

Go to Video > Capture Filter and click the tab that says Video Proc Amp. These are my settings. Yours may be different. You have to play with it until you like what you see.

Halo 2 and Halo 3 Settings:

Brightness - 131

Contrast - 32

Hue - 64

Saturation - 36

Sharpness - 0

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Settings:

Brightness - 104

Contrast - 32

Hue - 64

Saturation - 40

Sharpness - 0

Then, click OK.

Go to Audio > Audio Input > Master Volume.

Then, go back to Audio > Audio Source > Audio Line.

Finally, go to Audio and at the bottom, you should see an option that says Line In. Go ahead and click on that.

Finally, you are ready to capture.

Once you're done capturing, use this method to Deinterlace and Compress. (Link below)

If you need help using this method, you can send me a message on aim.

The only thing different about my way is that I have a different script. Try the one provided first but if it doesn't work, try this one.

Directshowsource("capture.avi")ConvertToYUY2()Load Plugin("msu_fieldshiftfixer.dll")MSU_FieldShiftFix er(1,0,0)ConvertToRGB24()

You can just copy and paste it.

Compress your clips at 5,000kbps and for your audio, go to Audio > Full Processing Mode and just leave your audio uncompressed. If you plan on re-rendering in Vegas, compress your clips at 8,000kbps so that you won't lose as much quality.

Once you've done all that, just go to File > Save as AVI, let it render, and you're done.

If you need to deinterlace for CoD, use this tutorial.

Your quality should look like this.

If you have any questions, talk to me on aim. (PhiZZyyyyyy)

Enjoy!

Thanks to low strife for his tutorial and KayEmX for providing me with the script.

Hai. Good post..

You could just go pro and get an ATI usb 2.0

Btw, we are 1v1ing again tonight.

You're on.

To bad you can't get clips......=]

You would.

thats the 100 i thought that was the 107 as in the red one is the 100 thats what i have and by using this the quality has gotten 100x better

When I go to my devices in vdub, it says Dazzle DVC 100 so I'm guessing that this is the newer version of what you have.

good tut... u just figured out how to get good quality like a week ago. now u know that good quality is actually really easy to get. i got my dazzle 100 about 3 years ago and i got it for like 20 bucks... its way cheaper than 65. titanium really needs to fucking look at this. u prolly wouldnt know about that x264 and deinterlace tut if it wasnt for me .

<3 phizzy

I just finished helping titanium actually. His quality is actually pretty good now. And you didn't introduce me to the x264 tut. You just encouraged me to use it and I thank you for that. <3

nice post i used* 3 spitters one for every cable but your way seems alot easier and that the first black dazzle ive ever seen my dcv100 is white.
ps.my spillters broke
