A supported OS list would be nice too
Windows | Linux | Mac

Add a listing of UVC support next, plox

It would be great to add 25/50 fps (PAL) compatibility to the list, because most capture cards I tested don't allow anything lower than 30 fps, or have 24 fps but no 25 fps mode. That's a problem for non-gamers who want to just use these cards with their cameras. I have Extremecap UVC which has 25p mode after firmware upgrade. YK752, EC288 and ezcap284 don't support it. I wonder if any of the cheaper, "non-broadcast" style cards support PAL modes. Of course they all display 25p video, but with occasional stuttering due to framerate mismatch.

Why no Datapath Cards tested? I guess because OBS Studio still is bugged to even initialize them lol
edit: It works when you start OBS as admin.

I'd like to see the results from the USB3HDCAP

Im surprised this has not gotten more attention, this is very valuable information, thank you!
