Hi I am trying to find out why when I transfer my HI8 tape thru a Dazzle
dvc80 and then burn it my audio is not coming out right. I have tried the
following, using the Studio 8 software, also the Movie Maker2. I have tried
better discs, closing all other programs. I have recently tried to use an
adapter that imputs the audio directly into the mic jack by passing the
svideo dazzle jack and still the audio comes out distorted. I have also tried
several different settings. The preveiw comes out fine but when the disc is
burned its the same problems. Thanks for the much needed help! John

This is a bit tricky to fathom exactly what it is you're doing?
From what I can gather from here:
http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSi...ts/Home+Video/Dazzle/Digital+Video+Creator+80

This is a "passive" device, with no on-board encoding,
it draws it's power via the USB connection.
This is not ideal.
It has the L/R line-in audio jacks, a Video line-in
and S-Video.
S-Video carries only a video signal - no audio.
The usual problem with these "passive" analog/USB
devices is the audio is out of sync with the video.
With DV-AVI footage, the DV cam "packs" audio/video
together as a tight coherent digital package delivered
complete to the PC via firewire.
With devices such as the dazzle, audio is sent seperately
and is usually easy to capture without glitch. The video
signal is sent independently, but converting "on-the-fly"
an analog video, via a "passive" device connected via
USB is CPU/ram intensive and often results in "frame drop",
which usually results in the sync issues, of which you
don't seem to be suffering from?
You say, in the preview, all seems well? Which software?
So in preview, audio and video are in sync and without
any "distortion"?
You say you have tried "several different settings"?
Such as what?

When you capture (and do not use the mic input.)
What have you got the software configured to capture as?
MPEG? WMV? RM? AVI? What?
Once you have captured, and have produced a video file,
does it playback without problems in media player?
