Are u using the internal or external one? The Dazzle Digital Video creator I'm using right now is a USB Ext type. It's not bad but it need a PIII CPU at least 500 in order to operate or else it will sometimes hang. The internal version one will sometime cause hanging most often depending on your CPU. Using the Ext USB one, i'm able to convert 2 hr video into 1.7 G file plus u install the software in a large hard disk.
Also while editing video, i find that there always a 'jagged' line at the bottom, i only can 'kill' it off by using ULead Mediastudio Pro 6. Just 'cropping' it. The software is quite user-friendly.
