How to Watch Movies Through Dazzle Pinnacle

The Dazzle video capture device created by Pinnacle allows users to upload videos from their camcorder, television or DVD player using a conventional RCA cord. The Dazzle system works much like more expensive video cords except that it uses a USB plug to connect with your computer. When you use Pinnacle's Studio editing software, you can capture or play back video on your computer monitor.

      Plug one of the ends of the RCA cable into the "Video Out" port on the DVD player's port panel. Plug the red plug into the red port, the white plug into the white port and the yellow plug into the yellow port. The DVD player's port panel has several small connection points and can usually be found on the back of the system.

      USB cables and ports are usually indicated by a multi-plug logo.

      Plug the USB cable attached to the Dazzle capture device into one of your computer's available USB ports. Take care not to force the cable into your computer's port, because this may cause damage. Flip the USB cable over if it does not fit.
