Never bought a Pinnacle device that worked well for me.

i picked one of these up at BB yesterday for $40. I paid more, but didnt have to deal with a rebate, so Im ok with that.
installed the software.. no problems at all.. although I could see how some vista users could have issues if they didnt bother to read the instructions (install software, install .07 update then install .08 patch).
Ran through an pulled a video off the camcorder.. was extremely easy to do, and the quality looks good.. no complaints so far.

i use something from japan called buffalo p-cast....never had a problem

I have a BEDazzler. Is this the same thing? I use it to put pretty sparklies on my Strawberry Shortcake panties! *smirk* is work!
