I love finding stuff that works and can still be used. I found a tower with a tuner card(saa7164) on the side of the road which later became my MythTV server. I used that thing for about 3 years. Good find!
I still have mine that came with Studio Plus 10, back in my Windows days. It even came with a good-quality microphone with stand and a greenscreen sheet! It's crazy how well the FireWire-to-USB thing works in it, complete with Device Control. (But once I got a real PCI FireWire card for my Dell PC of the time I would start using that to capture from my MiniDV camcorder.) Pinnacle's Studio Plus 10 was also good for going beyond Windows Movie Maker, but it did require a rather souped-up PC to run it, and I had very minimal fuss doing so. I even used these when digitizing my parents' old VHS-C home movies from when me and my brother were little and burning them to DVD, as Studio had great built-in DVD-authoring features back then. (Anything more elaborate I'd use Adobe Premiere Elements.)
It comes out of the trash because - and I'm saying this has an old tech collector - it really belongs there. The company makes sure that its very hard to get older versions of their software online, and many of these have incompatibility after incompatibility with other software (on the one I had it barely worked with VLC with no sound), so unless you happen to get the product second hand with its software it should really go in the trash.
Several drivers(such as the Vista compatible drivers) seem to work fine *for firewire* - just choose 'Microsoft DV Camera and VCR' or something similar NOT 'Pinnacle 710' in capture sofwtare, as the 'Pinnacle 710' device in capture software seems to be only for the analog inputs. You don't require Pinnacle Studio for this, just something like VLC. WinDV is seemingly generally good for firewire, but it seemed to get confused with different devices on my pc. Getting the AV/S-Video capture working seems difficult/unreliable though, without Pinnacle Studio at least. I could get the video working(though it would sometimes not work for no reason), but I couldn't get the audio to come through.
Unfortunately, there's no drivers that I could find that weren't on scummy websites. I could try imaging my original discs but idk if that would work for your model.
@@thevoiceofreason2153 As it says in the title, 710-USB. The driver might be backwards compatible. I am not even sure if I have the CD anymore or if it got damaged like a couple of other CDs I have.

Nice! Where did you find this? I always find decent stuff at my local recycling center but they won’t let me take anything! :-(
@@DistrosProjects lol it costs a 160 bucks on ebay!!
Nice vid

Interesting. Mine wouldn't even work with Windows 10. It actually had better support on Linux then it did on its target OS (XP)
@@DistrosProjects Worked out of the box, supposedly the kernel had drivers. Using Ubuntu, specifically Elementary OS.
@@DistrosProjects Difference in models, perhaps? I had the Dazzle DVC 80.
@@IoIxD Are you sure it was a Dazzle DVC 80? I thought that only worked on Windows XP.
@@runouno Well it barely worked on Linux so yeah that sounds about right.
is there windows 11 drivers forr that yet or no
The XP drivers should still work, but this is unknown since I lost my driver CD.

Does anyone know where I can find a driver for a Moviebox 510?

@@DistrosProjects What model do you have?

@@DistrosProjects If you have it, I would really appreciate it. If it's not too much trouble, it's worth a try.
