I'm looking for the best USB based video capture device for jitter on windows. I have experience with Hauppague products but wonder of others have successfully used Dazzle or Pinnacle products. I prefer USB/USB2 devices over firewire for compatibility reasons.

I've used pinnacle hardware, being the previous versioin of

, but that's actually the same as this Dazzle:

This worked just fine for me no problems at all. Except that i had to 

switch the device from *tv tuner* mode to *analog video input* - mode, 

which could apparently only be done by installing the software that 

another device i ended up using, is something they're selling in my home 

country *belgium* at *fnac* stores, it concerns this product:

This is basically just AV >> USB and also works just as well, if it is 

only used for that purpose. Only problem is that i don't think they're 

The reason i'm posting this is, while using these two devices together 

i stumbled upon repeated *blue screens*... i puzzled 

this out and came to the conclusion that both devices needed to use 

different versions of the same *audio and video stream through USB* driver.

if u're running win xp, and want to import video through usb multiple 

times, use one type of device. that could save you quite some trouble.

We just got an Epson S4 for Share and I'm very impressed with the picture. Bright, good color, and very fine contrast-- all for 700 or 800USD, IIRC. It doesn't do horizontal keystoning, which is a boon for the itinerant visualist; however, all the ones that do are twice the price.
