It's a USB device that features the composite R/Y/W cable ports, and an S-video for the systems that supported that media. Comes with great software, easy to use. I believe the video feed that displays on your PC is real-time without any delay, but I am not certain on that. By habit I use an A/V splitter that I use to split the video game to the TV and PC simultaneously.
To add my 2 cents to this part: Dazzle is good , but it is very un reliable. Many youtubers (my self included) had issues with the product after a while. And there's usually about a .5 - 2 second delay on a small window so you either need 2 monitors, or A/V splitter cables.. It's good for maybe a year then it will start to crap out. Your best bet for consoles is just to go right into an HD PVR and for older games use emulators and a screen recorder. I don't think Fraps works with emulators. Obviously no one should help you get those on the forum.
