Stay away from the Dazzle Hollywood Bridge

I know that this has been said here before, but I bring it up for any new folks, and also as a reminder to tell a friend that the Dazzle Hollywood DV bridge is an unstable, poorly made, over priced piece of junk. (I am holding myself back with the adjectives). Not only is this product a pain in the neck, but their tech support is nothing short of maddening. They don't even have a toll free number, and you can't e-mail them directly.

I suppose this should be a lesson to me and others. Search, ask, and explore before you buy. For less than $50 more, I could have had the Canopus converter that everyone here likes.

My only hope is to e-bay the glorified paper weight and hope I can recoupe a fraction of the cost.

Please, pass the word on.... Say no to "Hollywood"

I will not agree here at all.
I had DHB & it was faulty. Had it changed for another one & this is just great. PAL, NTSC no problems. No sync problems etc.

True, it is overpriced comparing to Canopus, but I bought my on sale for 1/2 price, so in that case I am really happy with what it does.

But if I had to pay the full price then you are right. Canopus is better bet.
