This original Dazzle hails from the brief few years where it actually made sense to put an MPEG-1 encoder inside of a parallel port device. But even with its printer-adjacent connections, the LAV-1000 is surprisingly capable! Let's set it up, record VHS and PS2 video footage, and use Windows 98 to edit the resulting video and image files.
