Pinnacle 710-USB video capture device - compatible with PDR 12?

Solved byMar 09, 2014 20:59 I have Power Director 12 suite installed on a Windows 8 machine with Intel i7, 32 GB RAM, blueray burner and four USB-3 ports. I want to capture video from an analog VCR. I had Pinnacle Studio 14 Ultimate installed on my previous (Windows 7) PC and could capture with the 'Moviebox' (710-USB) hardware that came with the software. On my current machine, the previous driver instals seemingly without a problem, but neither PDR12, Movie Maker, nor Corel Studio 14 (which I've now uninstalled) could 'see' the capture device. I've been unable to locate a Windows 8 driver for the Moviebox - if indeed there is one.
I could try and instal Pinnacle 14 on this machine, but it seems like overkill to have 2 video editing programmes on the one machine and I'm worried about outdated drivers and .dll files (etc) also getting installed.
Has anyone else used the Pinnacle 710-USB? Any suggestions?

You may be up against a proprietary driver set up for your device which will only communicate with the company's own software. There really isn't anything special about the USB interface, just it's made by Pinnacle. I don't have one, so cant comment on whether it'll work with PDR12. I use a USB interface if I want to capture from a VCR. My suggestion is to plug the device in and let Windows recognise it and see what happens - installing the specialist device drivers may be counter productive and that's what's preventing it seeing an alternative editor - I'm just guessing here. I don't have to install any drivers for my USB interface ( the USB devices are readily and cheaply available).

I've tried uninstalling the Pinnacle driver. Next time the device was plugged in, Windows installed a driver, presumably from its own library, and the details (file names, date, version number) were exactly the same as the Pinnacle version. Attempts to 'update the driver' in Device Manager were unsuccessful.
