Understood. That's why you need either another laptop with firewire or something like the Pinnacle to "translate" IEE1394 to USB.

My mistake. I think the Pinnnacle Movie Box(es) are still your best option. It looks like you will have to find something used.
Here's a good possibility on eBay.
There are different models. Make sure you get one that supports DV (IEE1394) in and USB (only) out. These are (at least) the 500, 510 and 700 (flat blue). Ironically you do
not want the "Movie Box DV" (flat silver) because it is DV out only (no USB out) which is exactly what you can't use. There are also some older ones (flat white?) that are USB out but do not have DV in.

I believe that all the Pinnacle's listed above will create a "DV" file as an AVI using either the Pinnacle Studio software (need a later version to work with Win 10 - cheap on eBay) or can use another DV transfer program that works under Win 10. Once you have the correct device and the correct drivers installed you should have multiple transfer options such as ScenalyzerLive which is said to work in Win 10 per the link latreche34 provided earlier.

) Can the dv cable (from the digi8) go straight into the computer's USB port without the intervening device? Will it be recognized by Corel or others?
