DZ-MV580E - Problem capturing video

I think you have to install the "Pinnacle Studio" Video Editing Software BEFORE you attach the USB Cable to the Pinnacle MovieBox. After the Studio software is installed on your PC, your PC should automatically recognize the MovieBox. You shouldn't really need a Manual for the MovieBox, it should just be a "Plug and Play" device once you install Studio. The MovieBox just translates the Analog Video signal (like the Output from a VCR- the yellow red and white cables) to a Digital signal into your PC via a USB Input. At that point on the Studio software, the "Capture" tab should recognize the signal from your "Source" (VCR, Videocamera, etc.) Then you can edit your captured video. If your PC still doesn't "see" the Moviebox, there is a dropdown box in the "Capture" settings with selections for "Capture Device". It may have a couple of choices besides "Pinnacle MovieBox" such as a "webcam" or some other video capture device. Just select the "Moviebox". The one other problem you may encounter is that some older versions of "Pinnacle Studio" don't work on Windows 10. If so, your only easy option may be to try it on an old Windows XP machine. I like the older versions of "Studio" more than the newer versions, so I still use an old off-line XP computer. Hope that works.

I assume your output from your camera has not been established.

You need to buy a TV card which comes with audio /video composite sockets. these are female RCA or phono sockets which are also found on your camera.TV cards come with their own software to be able to capture pictures from your Hi 8 Camcorder using the av cables like the ones you use from your DVD to your TV set. There are other cards which carry the av sockets and come with video capture software. These cards are usually PCI cards which are fitted into your PCI slot in your PC motherboard. One other software that comes with such a card is Pinnacle Studio. Its called the Pinnacle AV/DV pci capture card. The one I use is just a DC 10 which works with Studios version 8. Please try any of these cards for your video capture

I also have a DVD camera and like using Pinnacle Studio 10. There are newer versions but mine works fine. Nero works good too and it cheaper. It actually supports 5.1 sounds also. Good luck!

I have the same problem. If you have an earlier version of Studio (i.e.; Studio 12) with which Moviebox USB works, then retain that version for capture. For all else, use Studio 14 by retrieving your captured footage from your hard drive.

Hi,


The manual would be :-

On the RHS, there would be an option to Download the complete user guide.

Once clicked, you need to put the verification numbers on the screen and save to your dekstop.

Any further help, let me know.

Thanks for using "Fixya".

If you have anti-virus software, you may want to try turning it off while you are using pinnacle stuff. I had a simular problem and now I just turn off McAfee and everything works fine.

Go into menu and look for AV/DV out, and turn on. this should be under menu under camera or video settings. I assume your output from your camera has not been established. I have to establish mine with my camcorder. hope this helps.
