Before diving into drivers, it is critical to understand what you are working with. The "SM-USB-007" refers to a specific hardware revision of the EasyCAP family. Internally, it uses an Empia EM2860 or EM2861 bridge chip combined with a SAA7113 or Philips SAA7113HL video decoder.
Key Identifiers:
The Windows 10 x64 Problem:
Microsoft broke compatibility with legacy drivers after Windows 7. The original drivers shipped on the mini-CD with your EasyCAP were 32-bit only. Windows 10 x64 requires signed 64-bit drivers, which the original manufacturer rarely provided. This is why generic driver packages often fail.
The manufacturer no longer provides official signed drivers. Use community-sourced drivers at your own risk.
Option A (Recommended for MS210x): Use MS210x Windows 10 Driver Pack from reputable video capture forums (e.g., OBS Project, VideoHelp). Look for file names containing: MS210x_Win10_x64_v1.0.
Option B (Generic fallback): USB2.0 Video Capture Driver by "lehua" – often bundled as lehua_usb2.0_capture_x64.msi. You installed the driver, VLC or OBS sees
Option C (Open source alternative): Use OBS Studio + DirectShow filter – does not fix driver but can work with Windows 10's generic USB Video Class driver if your hardware is lucky.
