Yeah, I got back into video recently and it's pretty surprising that the "multiple video in" isn't a solved problem in 2024! Even recording "clean" video by itself is unexpectedly tricky. The only choice, on a mac at least, appears to be to record directly from the USB device using quicktime.

Seems like a definitely opportunity for someone, although it also looks like Apple are thinking of moving into the space so maybe not.

VLC, OBS, ffmpeg (and webcam app on windows) should all be able to do it.

I ran into so many obscure, incomprehensible issues with OBS I just gave up. I'm sure the other two can also be coerced into doing what you need but Quicktime just works. Maybe things are different on PC.
