Use Dazzle to convert old video formats, then edit the video with Movie Maker.
The Dazzle DVD Recorder is a piece of hardware that allows you to convert your old VHS tapes or other media to a digital format. If you have Windows Movie Maker, you can use Dazzle as an input device to import video. Getting started requires that you make a connection between the Dazzle and Movie Maker.
Instructions
1. Connect the Dazzle to a USB port on your computer.
2. Open Movie Maker and click Capture from Video Device under Capture Video.
3. Look for Audio Device in the window that pops up. Click the dropdown menu and select Dazzle from the list of available audio devices, then click Next.
4. Give your file a name in the Enter a file name box at the next screen, then click Next.
5. Select the quality settings you want for your video at the next screen. Best quality for playback on my computer will suffice if you don't have a preference for quality. Click Next once you have selected your quality setting.
6. Click Start Capture at the next screen to begin importing the video into Movie Maker. You will see the video in the viewer screen as it is being imported. Click Finish when you have imported all the video you want to use. The video will then be placed in the Collections pane of Movie Maker.
7. Drag the video from the Collections pane to the Timeline/Storyboard to begin making edits or adding transitions.
