User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Movie Star Obsolete No Tech Support No DVD burning
I was so thrilled to convert by VHS tapes to DVD until I discovered that even my 80 gig hard drive was not enough for a 20 minute video AND once I had the AVI video and tried to burn the DVD the software said I had to go to dazzle.com to PURCHASE a $100 upgrade. The hardware and bundle only cost $40! There is no tech support effective 10/24/03 for any Dazzle DVC 80 Movie Star v. 5. Therefore, you use up your hard drive and can’t off load it anyway. What a waste! You have to delete the capture that took you 5 hours to produce. LOSER!

1 Star Movie Star 5 is junk
I’ve had nothing but trouble with this product. The XP version is very buggy and virtually unusable. Even with the latest patches, the software simply does not function. I cannot recommend this product to anyone.

3 Stars easy to use
I like this software because it was easy to use. There is interactive help for it available online. There are a few issues with it,however. The titling and Intro screens are clunky and not good quality. The voice over requires a recording program, which I found online called Goldwave, which is EXCELLENT! The MPEG2 recording would not play on all CD readers and the write to CD function didn’t work on my machine. For the money it’s not bad, there aren’t alot of choices out there for this kind of software at the consumer level.

1 Star Didn’t work for me
I tried making SVCD’s with this…. ended up with several coasters before I gave up. All of the SVCD’s seemed to render and burn OK, but when I tried playing them in my 8 month old DVD player, they were unwatchable. The video was completely distorted with hundreds of lines throughout the picture. When I made SVCD’s with Ulead and Sonic MyDVD product, they worked fine every time. I don’t know how it works for DVD’s, but based on my experience, I wouldn’t buy this product.

1 Star Terrible
The only mode to capture video is in AVI format. The files become so huge after just a minute of recording that they are uneditable and you can’t produce anything. A complete right off.
