I use pinnacle studio 10 and it works great.  I run it on my Core2Duo 6600 (running @ 3.4Ghz) w/ 4gb ram and I can even play a video game while it is capturing/encoding.  I have used premier pro in the past and it is better for certain things but in most cases I prefer pinnacle studio.  Premier does like to be the only app running when you are either encoding or capturing which tends to be a little annoying.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Hints re Adobe Premiere on Windows?

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?
