Can you use a dazzle capture card without pinnacle studios?

Answer 1

No you need the CD to do everything

Whoever left the last answer is incorrect.

You can use VLC media player to view/stream/capture from a dazzle capture card.

Open VLC, click on media, open capture device.

Select dazzle from the drop down menu's.

Then select how you want to stream/record/view .etc

It is more than likely that other programs can do this too, but most of the time it isn't worth it as the picture quality is far from amazing, and there is normally a small amount of lag.

Hope this helps.
