Hi, I have a Pinnacle Systems 700-USB video capture device which was bundled with Studio video editing software as Studio Plus 10. The capture device may also have been known as Moviebox Deluxe. It has composite, S-video and stereo audio inputs and outputs, and a Firewire port (can capture DV from a camcorder over USB, or play back DV for recording to a camcorder). Some info at http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Home+Video/Studio+Family/Studio+Plus+700-USB+version+10+Documents/Technical+Specifications/Technical+Specifications.htm Windows drivers are available from http://cdn.pinnaclesys.com/SupportFiles/Hardware_Installer/readmeHW10.htm direct URLs http://cdn.pinnaclesys.com/SupportFiles/Hardware_Installer/PCLEUSB2x32.exe http://cdn.pinnaclesys.com/SupportFiles/Hardware_Installer/Pinnacle_Video_Driver_64bit.exe In Windows, the 700-USB uses the same driver as the current model Moviebox Plus 710, MarvinAVS.sys and MarvinUsb.ax. There is also a "Pinnacle Marvin Bus" entry under System devices in the Windows Device Manager, which uses MarvinBus.sys. The first problem is that it is mis-recognised by Linux, which tries to use the usbvision driver. The 700-USB USB VID:PID is 2304:0212. Looking at the usb.ids file, that ID is for the "Studio PCTV USB (NTSC)". Now, Windows drivers for the PCTV USB (an old USB 1.x capture device, from circa 2000) can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.pinnaclesys.de/driver/pc/tvusb/PCTVUSBW2K104.exe (Warning: large file!) Download and unpack that, check pctvusb2.inf. (My guess is it contains details for a later hardware revision; it doesn't refer to high-speed USB 2.0.) An excerpt: %P0211.DeviceDesc% = P0211.Install,USB\VID_2304&PID_0211 ;PAL, R,P %P0212.DeviceDesc% = P0212.Install,USB\VID_2304&PID_0212 ;NTSC, R,T %P0213.DeviceDesc% = P0213.Install,USB\VID_2304&PID_0213 ;NTSC, R,P %P0214.DeviceDesc% = P0214.Install,USB\VID_2304&PID_0214 ;PAL I, R,T Did Pinnacle release two different products with the same USB VID:PID? Or perhaps there are entries in pctvusb2.inf for products which were never actually released, so the IDs were reassigned to later products? If anyone has an original PCTV USB with VID:PID 2302:0212, please let me know. Looking at the INF file for the 700-USB driver (MarvinAVS.inf): [Marvin.Device] %Marvin.DeviceDesc%=Marvin.Install,USB\VID_2304&PID_0206 ; Marvin-classic %MarvinCR.DeviceDesc%=MarvinCR.Install,USB\VID_2304&PID_0212 ; Marvin-CR %MarvinLite.DeviceDesc%=MarvinLite.Install,USB\VID_2304&PID_0213 ; Marvin-Lite %Marvin510.DeviceDesc%=Marvin510.Install,USB\VID_2304&PID_0223 ; Marvin-510 %Marvin710.DeviceDesc%=Marvin710.Install,USB\VID_2304&PID_0224 ; Marvin-710 So the "Marvin-Lite" also has a duplicated VID:PID. Marvin-Lite must be the 500-USB capture device, and is listed correctly in usb.ids. There's another duplicated entry in MarvinPro.inf. This for the USB breakout box supplied with Pinnacle/Avid Liquid Pro (similar to the 700-USB but with 5.1 audio and component video in/out): %Marvin.DeviceDesc%=Marvin.Install,USB\VID_2304&PID_0211 ; FX2 MarvinDiscrete Pro Rev. 0.1 -- Mark -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
