For those on Win 11, beware. I have a Pinnacle 710-USB from Lordsmurf and it no longer captures analogue video. It is basically unresponsive. I'm running the latest Pinnacle driver from the Pinnacle CDN site here.
Interestingly, the DV to USB transfer/conversion function works fine.

Each successive OS has stopped working with the most reliable of cards.
- ATI AIW did not official work with Windows Vista x86 or Windows 7 x86, but could actually be hacked. However, the hack would undo itself at reboot.
- Windows 8 and 10 updates corrupted output from many cards, including ATI 600 USB and clones.
- Windows 11 is essentially the latest "Windows 10" update, with a new GUI. Remember, there is no "Windows 10" or "Windows 11", in terms of a single OS. Each update, every 6 months, is more like a new OS than a mere update. Windows 10 and 11, the OS of the 2020s, are not what you should be using for the 2000s-2010s task of capture video. Microsoft doesn't care about video capture anymore. Apple and Linux never cared.
All cards will eventually cease to work properly with new OS. Even the junk Easycap cards are failing now.
If the card itself fails (no longer works with any OS), odds are that the failure was not caused by the OS, but it's merely coincidence.
All new OS insist on being online at all times, and capture needs to be done on an offline computer anyway. For those offline systems, use WinXP or Win7.

....and every time they come up with a new version they make it even worse, Whose hiring these coders? For example, I use to select open browser tabs from the bottom of the task bar with one click, in Win11 I have to hover over the browser tab, wait for it to generate all open tabs, then select the tab, Why?. Prior to that in XP I believe the selected tab actually looks like it's pushed down so you know that's the displayed tab, In Win10, if I have two tabs I can no longer know which one is the selected, I often click both to go to the other tab, because it is only slightly highlighted.

I tried one of the Tevion ATI 600 clones and it actually works with Windows 10 using the Vidbox3 Driver attached. Can't take credit for that, found it on some other post.
Issue is though that I haven't figured out how to get it output in interlaced mode - Seems that it is currently just throwing away one of the fields. I didn't see any deinterlace settings in the driver, but someone smarter than me might know how to get it to preserve the interlace? I'll probably make a separate post eventually asking if anyone has ideas.

I spoke to Lordsmurf via DM, two weeks ago, about buying one of these, and a TBC. The last I heard from him was that he had received the payment we discussed, and was going to send them to me the following day or so and tell me the tracking details within the week.
That was 12 days ago. I haven't heard anything back since and he did not reply to a recent follow-up DM. I know he is a reputable, long standing member of this community so I don't suspect dishonesty but hope all is okay with him. Has anyone else had any luck contacting him recently?

I must have missed your message. 
There's also something larger going on around the area, vandals attacking internet infrastructure, cutting fiber, tower issues, etc. It's really starting to piss people off around here.

Hi @lordsmurf,
Thought I'd try it now through the forum instead of a PM. I wired the money for the Tevion card at January 24th, but haven't heard anything from you since. Figure you're busy, but if you could spare a moment? 
Cheers,
drmacfaulty

Just be patient, it may take lordsmurf a few days to respond. I just got my tracking number for shipment on a capture card I just bought from him a few days ago. He will get back to you

No, that is not what I have. That's not a suggested card.

Hello, and many thanks for this forum, it really is an unvaluable source I wish I had found earlier.
I am in the process of digitizing about 20 hi8 tapes recorded with a Sony CCD-TR705E VCR (NTSC).
I currently run windows 10, but I might be able to use an old laptop for windows 7 or Vista.
I'd be interested in any of the USB devices that might work best for my use case.
