I don't have one of these, but it does look nice. I wish there was a
similar product that did IIDC (then you wouldn't need any special drivers
on Mac OS X).

Yes, it works with LiveChannel. It has composite and s-video inputs.
Note, that this is video only. If you want audio, you have to use the
built-in mic/line-in. It is a 320x240 capture device. It works well at
15fps. All the compression is in software.
