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. Ehren J.

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
