This weekend I've experimented a bit with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3. It doesn't seem very robust during the capture phase. If I simply switch to another window, it halts the capture. This is on a 2 gigahertz Core Duo computer. I even tried goosing the priority for Premiere in Task Manager to Realtime. Same effect: dare to leave the Premiere window, and I will halt capture. It also stopped capturing when my screen saver kicked in at 10 minutes. It's been a few years since I've fiddled with digital video. I would've thought by now you could nav to another window and surf the Web. Is video capture on Windows really still that brittle? Or is this Premiere wanting all the cycles? /rich Celebrating 50 Years of Computing at MSU computing.msu.edu/50years
