Are the Dazzle products 'ok' nowadays? I ask this because a few years ago when I bought my Canopus ADVC-100 I was researching capture devices and had initially set my sights on a Dazzle DV Bridge but reading many user reviews on the product put me right off buying it (lots of complaints & frustrations), then someone mentioned the ADVC range and just about all the user reviews I saw praised it so I bought one and it's suited me very well.

Ever since I encountered the chroma compression problem with DV, especially red, I've been wondering about high quality uncompressed capture but until now never really had the harddrive space needed to deal with the filesizes involved, nor the need for it. Capturing VHS to DV is fine and wouldn't really benefit from uncompressed capturing, but laserdisc will.
