As long as the capture doesn't actually drop frames, it will not diminish in quality whatsoever no matter what else is running in the background, whether you use a videocamera or a deck to capture. You only need a moderately fast pc to capture digital video, like say a five year old 2.8 Ghz P4. That is what I use to capture standard definition video. You need a faster pc, like a dual core pc to capture hdv though. Most apps like Premiere Pro won't let you do anything while you capture, but there is another app called Scenalyzer Live that will let you capture standard definition video while minimized in the background. I was able to use Photoshop or other apps while it captured and it works fine.
