Hi Everyone, thought I wanted to share my recent correspondence with the developer of UFOCapture (http://sonotaco.com/e_index.html) on which cards to use: Original email: Hi SonotaCo, I found this video capture card (ImpactVCB): www.hauppage.com/site/products/prods_analog.htmlDo you think it will work with your UFOCapture software? Reply from SonotaCo: Compatibility on video capture is very complex. The compatibility of UFOCapture is almost same with Microsoft Media Encoder. The point is whether the device driver supports Microsoft DirectShow uncompressed video capture interface or not. Usually, it can be supposed by the hardware type. There are two types in low cost capture equipments. One is so called hardware encoding type, that includes a hardware encoder chip in it. And the other is so called software encoding type, that does not have hardware encoder. Most of hardware encoding type is NOT compatible with UFOCapture, because they usually do not have un-compressed video capture interface on DirectShow. Most of the software encoding type is compatible with UFOCapture. But there is exception always, and we cannot test all devices in the world. So, please test by yourself if you want to use other devices than our recommendation.

Toby, that is quite a detailed response from them. Not too many companies would bother. Good on them

I agree. He seems to be very friendly. Thats primarily also the reason why I am posting it here for others to read as well. I know UFOCapture is quite widespread in the meteor detection community.
