Works with arch linux

Work right of the box with arch.

None

I use this with a linux program called motion, on a 1ghz 512mb box (low cpu usage 9%). I only use 2 of the inputs and they work great. Remember that it only shows up as one device /dev/video# and has 4 inputs on that dev. To check use a program called xawtv and change the source to figure out the correct input. I attached a video of motion in action with this card.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Do Not Recommend for Windows 2000

Good tech support. No wait by phone.

This card will not work with Windows 2000. I spent a few hours total with tech support and even sent the card to Hauppauge to reprogram the EPROM--all without success.

Features
FeaturesVideo Capture Video from any analog source (composite or S-Video) can be captured as either still frame video images or motion video. Composite video inputs are provided as female RCA jacks, while S-Video uses standard 4-pin DIN connectors. The ImpactVCB comes with a VFW capture driver (Video for Windows)for Windows 95 and Windows NT, and a WDM driver for use with WindowsXP, Windows98SE, Windows Me and Windows 2000. Typical capture rates range from 15 to 30 fps depending on system configuration. Live Video Display The ImpactVCB can display live video from NTSC or PAL video sources in a resizable window on the PC screen. The digitizing of the analog video signal and the resizing of the video image is performed by hardware on the ImpactVCB, thereby not slowing down the CPU. After video is digitized and resized, the digitized video image is drawn by the ImpactVCB directly into the memory of the PC's VGA card. This uses a feature of Windows called Direct Draw, and the ImpactVCB can be used with most VGA cards which support Direct Draw 5 or higher. This technique is used on Windows95, Windows98, WindowsME, Windows2000 and WindowsNT 4.0
